☀️Do you know the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke? They may sound alike, but these two heat-related conditions are very different:
🥵 Heat exhaustion is caused by spending too much time in the heat, and can often be reversed with cooling down, hydration, and rest.
🚨 Heat stroke is a medical emergency that requires immediate medical attention, caused by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If you suspect heat stroke, don’t wait - call 9-1-1 immediately.
