Both very cold and very hot temperatures could be dangerous to your health. Excessive exposure to heat is referred to as heat stress and excessive exposure to cold is referred to as cold stress. In a very hot environment, the most serious concern is heat stroke. In absence of immediate medical attention, heat stroke could be fatal. Heat stroke fatalities do occur every summer. Heat exhaustion, and fainting (syncope) are less serious types illnesses which are not fatal but interfere with a person's ability to work. At very cold temperatures, the most serious concern is the risk of hypothermia or dangerous overcooling of the body. Another serious effect of cold exposure is frostbite or freezing of the exposed extremities such as fingers, toes, nose and ear lobes. Hypothermia could be fatal in absence of immediate medical attention.
