लू लगना

लू लगना क्या है?

Heat stroke occurs when the body’s thermoregulation fails, usually during prolonged exposure to high temperatures and humidity. Symptoms include confusion, hot dry skin (sweating stops), rapid pulse, and loss of consciousness. It is a medical emergency. In Southeast Asia, heat stroke risk is highest during the hot season (March-May), particularly for outdoor workers, the elderly, and travellers who have not acclimatised. Prevention: hydrate, seek shade, limit midday exertion.
