What is heat stroke?

Heatstroke is a general term for disorders that occur when the body loses water and salt in a hot and humid environment, or when the body's adjustment functions do not work properly.
 
When you think of heat stroke, you probably think of severe symptoms such as thirst, high fever, and convulsions.
 
However, surprisingly, the initial symptoms are “tiredness”, “dullness”, and “raw yawning”. These symptoms are often felt in everyday life, and it is easy to miss the timing of care without being aware that it is heat stroke.
 
If you feel any of these three symptoms, take early care such as moving to a cool place to lower your body temperature and replenishing fluids, and consult a medical institution.
