Avoid heat stroke in Torreón with these 6 recommendations

A line of dry weather extends over Coahuila with temperatures forecast up to 45°, added to the lack of electricity in some regions, which can cause hyperthermia, also known as heat stroke.

This situation occurs when the body overheats due to the inability to regulate temperature, either by being exposed to a high temperature for a long time, or by doing a lot of physical effort in hot climates.

When the body cannot regulate its internal temperature properly, a dangerous increase in body temperature can occur, resulting in heat stroke.

What are the symptoms of heat stroke?

This can lead to serious symptoms, such as confusion, dizziness, nausea, rapid pulse, and hot, red skin.

It is important to take preventive measures to avoid heat stroke and seek medical help if anyone shows signs.

3. Drink abundant liquids
4. Use sunscreen SPF50
