Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke Heat stroke is an emergency situation in which the body loses its ability to cool itself. The internal body temperature rises to extremes, sometimes as high as 106 degrees F. Heat stroke can result in death if not treated promptly. To respond to heat stroke, CALL 911 or go to the closest emergency room.

HEAT STRESS Workers who are exposed to extreme heat or work in hot environments may be at risk of heat stress. Exposure to extreme heat can result in occupational illnesses and injuries. Heat stress can result in heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat rashes. Heat can also increase the risk of injuries in workers as it may result in sweaty palms, fogged-up safety glasses, and dizziness.

Heat Stroke Heat stroke is also known as sunstroke, thermic fever, or siriasis. It happens when the body's mechanisms for controlling temperature fail. Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency needing immediate treatment. While many people feel sick and faint during heat waves, most of these people are suffering from heat exhaustion, a related condition usually less serious than heat stroke.

- Phreatic cave passages (or phreatic tubes) are formed below the water table by water flowing under pressure. They can vary in size from a few centimetres to several metres in diameter.Later as water levels drop a stream flows in the bottom of the phreatric tube and downward cutting begins.vens are vertical tubes found in the roof of cave passages. They are not formed by water finding its way down a vertical joint from the top, but from the bottom by water, under extreme pressure swirling around. This means that there is often no way on at the top of an aven. A Breakdown Chamber.

Heat-Related Injuries There three types of heat-related injuries: 1  Heat cramps. These are painful muscle cramps, usually in the stomach, arms, or legs, that may occur during heavy activity. 2  Heat exhaustion. This is the body's response to losing too much water and salt in sweat. 3  Heat stroke. This is the most serious type of heat-related injury. Heat stroke, also known as sun stroke, occurs when the body becomes unable to cool itself down. The body's temperature may rise to 106 degrees Farenheit or higher within minutes. If heat stroke is not treated quickly, it can lead to brain damage or death.

- Heat stroke often occurs as a progression from milder heat-related illnesses such as heat cramps, heat syncope (fainting), and heat exhaustion. But it can strike even if you have no previous signs of heat injury. Heat stroke results from prolonged exposure to high temperatures -- usually in combination with dehydration -- which leads to failure of the body's temperature control system.
