Ep. 52 | Surviving the Summer; Tips for Tackling Hyperthermia and Heat Stroke

This week, we're talking about hyperthermia and heat stroke!

As the summer temperatures rise, it's important to stay informed on the implications of heat overexposure including heat syncope, heat cramps, heat edema, heat exhaustion, and in the most severe cases, heat stroke.

Listen to this week's episode for information on ways to prevent overheating, how to identify early signs of hyperthermia, and how to lower you our your aging loved one's susceptibility to heat-associated illnesses.
