Heat Stroke

Heat stroke can turn deadly in minutes-but knowing what to look for can change what happens next.

Heat Stroke: Recognise It, Cool It, Survive It is a clear, practical guide for parents, carers, athletes, outdoor workers, travellers, coaches, first responders, and anyone who may need to act quickly in dangerous heat.

Part of The Clear Diagnosis Series, this book explains what heat stroke really is, how it differs from heat exhaustion, who is most at risk, and why confusion, strange behaviour, collapse, or seizures in the heat should always be treated as an emergency.

Written in plain language with helpful clinical notes, it shows readers how the body overheats, how humidity increases danger, what warning signs to watch for, and what to do in the first crucial minutes while emergency help is on the way.

Calm, practical, and easy to understand, this guide helps readers recognise heat danger early, cool effectively, and prepare before the next heatwave arrives.
