Friends,
Heat exhaustion is no joke. It can sneak up on you faster than you think. Know the signs and know how to reverse the tide before things become a lot more dangerous:
Symptoms:
- nausea
- nausea/vomiting
- profuse sweating
- confusion
- rapid and weak pulse rate
- weakness
- cramping
What to do if you or a loved one is exhibiting these symptoms:
- move to a cool area
- cool, non-alcoholic beverages
- get out of the sun if possible
- get seated or assume a safe position in the event of lightheadedness
Even those of us who are accustomed to hot weather and vigorous exercise outdoors can be caught off guard with heat exhaustion so know and pass on the info.
Stay well.
