Calories are no joke, this year, it has affected most parts of the United States
As much of the country continues to compete with extremely high heat, knowing how to keep you and your loved ones safe this summer is key, especially since higher than normal temperatures are expected to last until August.
According to a report by the National Weather Service, HEAD killed more Americans in 2024 than any other major weather events, including floods and tornadoes. The 30-year prospect related to the weather tells a similar story.
As temperatures rise, the risk of heat-related hazards and injuries also occur when the body is exposed to extreme heat or high humidity for a prolonged period of time. Either way, the consequences can be fatal.
“Although high temperatures are expected to be expected in the coming days, the heat proved by numerous recorded warm early troughs will make this period particularly oppressive,” the NWS wrote on X on June 20. The fact that this creates for the first major heat wave of the year – when our bodies have not adapted to the heat – is particularly dangerous among many. ”
This is about knowledge about stroke, including how to treat it.
What is a stroke?
The hot stroke defined by the mayonnaise clinic is a disease caused by overheating in the human body. The body overheated when it is exposed to physical activity in high temperatures or high temperatures “too long”.
If the body temperature rises to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) or higher, the most common heat in summer may occur. It is also the most severe heat-related disease.

Other heat-related diseases include fuel depletion, rhabdomyolysis, heat syncope, skewed powder and hot rash.

According to the Mayo Clinic, stroke requires emergency care and, if left untreated, can damage the brain, heart, kidneys and muscles. Delayed treatment delay, higher risk of severe complications or death.
Stroke: Common signs, symptoms
Anyone who works in a thermal environment or is exposed to extremes is susceptible to heat-related diseases, including strokes and heat depletion.
