It's time for another hot Texas summer. It's also time to take precautions.
Higher temperatures create higher risks for heat stroke.
The physicians at Texas Medical Association want you to stay safe and healthy this summer and avoid the conditions that can lead to this dangerous but preventable illness. Heat stroke occurs when your body can't keep itself cool. Normally, as the air temperature rises, your body stays cool when your sweat evaporates. When sweating isn't enough to cool your body, your temperature rises and you may develop heat stroke. Drink plenty of water before starting an outdoor activity.
