🔥 Heat Stroke vs. Heat Exhaustion – What’s the Difference? 🔥
With summer heat upon us, it’s important to know the signs of heat-related illnesses.
🌡️ Heat Exhaustion happens when your body loses too much water and salt from sweating. You might feel weak, dizzy, sweaty, or get muscle cramps. It’s serious, but usually treatable if you cool down and hydrate quickly.
🚨 Heat Stroke is much more dangerous — it’s when your body can’t cool itself down, and your core temperature rises too high (over 104°F). Symptoms include confusion, passing out, or seizures. This is a medical emergency and needs immediate help!
Remember: Heat exhaustion is your body’s warning — take it seriously and cool off! Heat stroke is an emergency. Stay safe, stay hydrated, and listen to your body this summer. 💧☀️
