• Description:
  With the increase in frequency of extreme heat events,1 people are increasingly suffering from heat-related illness. This can present with acute symptoms of weakness, headache, dizziness, and muscle cramps. Prolonged exposure can result in adverse cardiovascular and kidney outcomes. When severe, prolonged heat exposure can lead to death. Heat-related illness is more prevalent in outdoor workers, including those who work in the agriculture and construction industries.
