About This Reader
Heat domes pose significant health risks as our bodies struggle to maintain a safe temperature in extreme heat. Dehydration is a major concern, as excessive sweating depletes our bodies of water, making hydration crucial. Heat exhaustion occurs when the body overheats, leading to symptoms like dizziness and nausea. In severe cases, heat stroke can develop, a life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical attention. Vulnerable groups include older adults, young children, individuals with health conditions, and those without access to air conditioning. Understand the health impacts of heat domes and test your knowledge with informative multiple-choice questions.
