In recent years, the number of heat stroke patients has increased by more than three times, highlighting its seriousness. Heat stroke is a severe heat-related illness in which body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, leading to altered consciousness, seizures, and even death. Elderly individuals are particularly vulnerable to heat stroke due to impaired thermoregulation. Early symptoms include excessive fatigue, headache, and dizziness, and the condition can deteriorate rapidly, requiring caution. During a heat wave warning, minimize outdoor activities and, if necessary, utilize early morning or late evening hours for safety.
