What is heat stress?
When we get hot, our skin starts to sweat in an attempt to cool the body down. But sometimes sweating isn’t enough, our body temperature continues to rise and this is when we can start to experience signs of heat stress. If these signs are ignored it can quickly progress to heat exhaustion and heatstroke, both of which are serious health problems and have the potential to be fatal.
