How to Stay Safe from Heat Stroke...

Heat stroke is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition caused by the body overheating, usually due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures or physical exertion in hot weather. It can affect anyone, but children, the elderly, and outdoor workers are especially vulnerable. Staying safe during extreme heat is crucial to your well-being.

🧴 Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you’re not thirsty. Avoid sugary, caffeinated, or alcoholic drinks as they can dehydrate you.

🧢 Dress Smart

Wear loose, lightweight, and light-colored clothing. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses can protect your head and eyes from direct sunlight.

🕒 Avoid Peak Heat Hours

Limit outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day, typically between 11 AM and 4 PM. If you must go out, take frequent breaks in the shade.

🧊 Stay Cool

Use fans, take cool showers, or stay in air-conditioned places. If you don’t have access to AC, visit a mall, library, or public cooling center.

🍉 Eat Light

Opt for light meals like fruits, salads, and water-rich foods. Avoid heavy, hot meals that can raise body temperature.

🚨 Recognize the Symptoms

Watch for signs like high body temperature, headache, nausea, confusion, rapid heartbeat, or unconsciousness. If someone shows these symptoms, seek emergency medical help immediately and try to cool them down using cold water or wet cloths.

Prevention is the best cure. Stay alert, take care of those around you—especially kids and elders—and never leave anyone in a parked car, even for a minute.
