Understanding Heat-Related Illness -- the Basics What Are Heat-Related Illnesses? Prolonged or intense exposure to hot temperatures can cause heat-re- lated illnesses, such as heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and heat stroke (also known as sun stroke). As your body works to cool itself under ex- treme or prolonged heat, blood rushes to the surface of your skin. As a re- sult, less blpod reaches your brain, muscles, and other organs. This can interfere with both your physical strength and your mental capacity, lead- ing, in some cases, to serious danger. By reducing excessive exposure to high temperatures and taking other precautionary steps, most heat-related illnesses can be avoided. Those who work in hot or humid environments -- such as manufacturing plants, bakeries, or construction sites during summer months -- are most at risk. However, even long, hot afternoons at the beach can pose problems if With prompt treatment, most people recover completely from heat ill- ness. However, heat stroke can be deadly if not properly managed.
