Heat Stroke, a Fatal Illness
When being exposed to the sun for long periods of time, besides being at risk of skin and eye damage, you can also get heat stroke. Heat stroke is the most severe form of heat illness and it may even cause death. In normal conditions, a person sweats to lower the body temperature, but in certain circumstances, such as extreme heat or vigorous activity in the hot sun, this cooling system may begin to fail, so you get dehydrated and cannot sweat enough to cool your body. Take care of yourself and avoid being under the sun’s rays for too long!
