Heat Stroke Prevention
- Stay Hydrated. Drink cool water near constantly
- Rest when needed. Go to shade periodically
- Avoid strenuous labour in extreme heat
- Minimize skin exposure to sun (wear loose, light coloured cotton)
Some circumstances and jobs will force one to work during extremely hot weather conditions. To prevent heat stroke in these situations, hydration is of the utmost importance. People can acclimatize to hot weather by working a little bit more in it at intervals. However should one over-work right away, heat stroke will result and there will be increased sensitivity to heat often for the rest of ones life.
