Heat stress occurs when the body’s ability to regulate internal temperature is impaired due to excessive heat. Excessive heat causes the body’s temperature to rise rapidly. Sweating is the body’s natural way of keeping cool, but when the body becomes too hot and sweat dries quickly or fluid intake is not adequate, body temperature can rise dangerously. Heat stress is caused by a variety of factors, including high air temperatures, radiant heat sources, high humidity, direct contact with hot objects, and excessive physical activity.
