Heat-related illnesses are health problems that happen when the body gets too hot and cannot cool itself properly. These include heat exhaustion and heat stroke. They are usually caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures, especially when combined with dehydration and physical activity. The effects can range from dizziness, fatigue, and heavy sweating to serious conditions like fainting, confusion, and even life-threatening situations if not treated immediately.
