INTRODUCTION

A healthy welcome to the healthy steemians in this healthy community. we are here to put our ideas together to deal with the topic the host put forward to this community.

There are countries or regions where there is high heat intensity, while others experience low heat intense. These two scenarios are products of weather regulations which the body system would as well try to regulate its temperature.

Where there is a high degree of sunshine for instance, heat intensifies and there will be an increase of the body temperature. This results to illness that will increase the body temperature to abnormal levels.
The heat stroke is mostly experienced during hot weather conditions or hot seasons.

Now from the above standpoint, I'm going to provide the answers to the questions raised by the host of this contest. They are as follows:

• What do you understand by heat stroke?

• Describe the symptoms of this condition.

• Tell us the First aid that should be given to the patient.

Dear host, below are the answers to your questions:

What do you understand by heat stroke?

Heat stroke is the condition when the body temperature intensifies and rises to an abnormal levels say 40°c or above, which may be caused by being or staying long in a hot weather conditions, high temperature zones or the dysfunction of some organs in the body.

Describe the symptoms of this condition.

Heat stroke comes with the following symptoms: The symptoms of heatstroke are:

• There will be increase in pulse as the heart will be forced to breath at a higher rate.

• Heatstroke may also come with headache, vomiting and nausea.

• A person having heatstroke may feel agitated, confusion and irritation may begin to set in.

• It comes with high body temperatures of up to 40°, and may even be greater than that.

• For a fair person, heatstroke may change their color to red as their temperature rises.

• It also results to high body temperature.

• If the heatstroke is resulting from the weather, your skin will be dry and hot.

Tell us the First aid that should be given to the patient.

When you have a heatstroke patient or person, the following first aid should be applied:

• Find or take the person to a shade or a cool place.

• Place a cool ice pack or wet towel on the person's body parts such as the armpits, the head and neck.

• If the person is putting on excess clothes, pull them off to allow some air flow to body.

CONCLUSION

Heatstroke is an ill health that should not be taken for granted when it happens.
It could be very dangerous it is resulting from the malfunctioning of some organs in the body.

A patient of heatstroke should be administered with some first aid before any other emergency treatment. some of the first aid that can be administered includes placing and ice cold packs on the parts body like the head and the armpits. Removing excess clothes if the patient is wearing such. The patient should also be taken to a cool and calm place.
