  • Strenuous activity in heat
  • Dehydration
  • Alcohol consumption in hot weather
  • Overdressing
  • Not acclimatized to heat
  • Certain medications
  • Age extremes (elderly, young children)

When to Seek Medical Attention

  • Vomiting prevents adequate hydration
  • Symptoms worsen
  • Confusion or altered mental state (seek emergency care)
  • High fever above 40°C (104°F) (seek emergency care)
