When temperature and humidity soar, travelers – particularly children, the elderly, those with chronic medical conditions, and people who are substantially overweight – may be prone to heat stroke. Even young and healthy individuals can be vulnerable if they are too active. To help prevent heat stroke, the TRIP Information Center suggests:
– Avoid hot foods and heavy meals.
– Increase fluid intake, regardless of activity level
– Pace yourself and limit outdoor activity to morning and evening, avoiding midday sun.
