How to Recognize Heat Stress
Recognizing heat stress early is key to preventing serious illness. Initial signs often include heavy sweating, fatigue, dizziness, and muscle cramps. You might also notice cool, clammy skin despite the heat, a faint or weak pulse, and perhaps a headache or nausea. Thirst is a common indicator, too. If these symptoms appear, move to a cooler place, rest, and hydrate. For worsening or persistent issues, seek medical help promptly.
