When the summer humidity hits, knowing the warning signs of heat-related illness can save a life. Because seniors regulate body temperature less efficiently, it’s crucial to know what to look out for.
Signs of Heat Exhaustion (Act Fast to Cool Down):
- Heavy sweating or cold, pale, clammy skin
- Dizziness, weakness, or fainting
- Nausea or vomiting
Signs of Heat Stroke (Medical Emergency - Call 911):
- High body temperature (103°F or higher)
- Hot, red, dry, or damp skin
- Confusion, dizziness, or losing consciousness
