Friends the heat stroke is a medical condition which is occur when there is too much hotness around us due to which our body's temperature increases too high and we get prone to heat stroke. It happens too quickly especially during the summer season which stops the sweating mechanisms of our body which results in decrease in the cooling mechanisms our body. Then we may lose control over ourselves and may fall suddenly and go in unconscious condition.

Now a days the temperature in my area is about 45 Celsius which is too high. Also the weather reports are saying that the intensity of summer will increase UpTo 50 Celsius in upcoming days which will increase the chances of heat waves which results in causing heat strokes among the people. In most of the cases children and old aged people get prone to it because their bodies can't bear that level of hotness.

The heat stroke can be very dangerous because it shows its symptoms very quickly and within a few seconds the condition of victims can change.
