Even though summer hasn't officially started, the rising temperatures say otherwise. Hot weather sparks a strong desire to bask in the sun. Yet, despite our love for sunshine, it can bring risks like sunburn, headaches, or sunstroke—which often strikes without warning. While typically benign, sunstroke can be intensely severe.
What is sunstroke exactly? It stems from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, when the body can no longer regulate its temperature at 37°C and it spikes rapidly. This triggers sunstroke, also known as hyperthermia, causing chills, headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or cramps. In some cases, it leads to loss of consciousness, demanding immediate emergency measures.
