The major concern is that your body may not be able to cool properly which can lead to heat exhaustion, or even heat stroke.
Symptoms may include rapid breathing, and extreme thirst.
To cool off as soon as possible, move to a shaded or air conditioned area, and drink plenty of fluids.
Heat strokes are considered a medical emergency so do not hesitate to call 911.
The Chatham-Kent Health Unit reminds us to take special care of the elderly, children, and people with chronic illnesses.
As always, limit your exposure to the heat, wear light clothing and hydrate.
