3. What Are the Immediate Risks of Heat Stroke?
Heat stroke can cause a wide range of unpleasant and dangerous symptoms. Affected person’s may feel faintness and disorientation. Overheating can cause muscles to cramp up and may also lead to extreme headaches, nausea, and even vomiting. People in the midst of suffering from extreme heat stroke may go into seizures or begin hallucinating.
The immediate risk of heat stroke is primarily that the affected person will become too disoriented to be able to remove themselves from the hot area and will continue to overheat. Overheating can be alarming and confusing to affected individuals and they may be incapacitated to the point where they struggle to tell those near them what is wrong.
