PHOENIX – Nearly 3,000 people go to the emergency room every year for heat-related illnesses, such as heat stroke and heat exhaustion, the Arizona Department of Health Services says.
“I think people are not aware of just how hot it is and how fast they can become dehydrated,” said Capt. Mike Norling of Scottsdale Fire. “Most of us here, in the Phoenix area in particular, we’re dehydrated when we start off the day anyway.”
Knowing how to spot these illnesses is key to preventing serious injury or even death. Heat exhaustion is a milder illness that can develop after several days of exposure to high temperatures. Symptoms include feeling faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale skin, nausea, a rapid, weak pulse and muscle cramps.
