Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to serious health issues if proper precautions are not taken.<\/p>\n

Why Children and Elderly Are at Higher Risk<\/strong><\/p>\n

Children and senior citizens are more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses due to several factors:<\/p>\n

Children dehydrate faster and may not recognize early symptoms
\nElderly individuals have reduced ability to regulate body temperature
\nBoth groups are more sensitive to sudden climate changes<\/p>\n

This makes them more prone to complications during peak summer months.<\/p>\n

\n–\u00a0Heat exhaustion

\n–\u00a0Unusual tiredness or confusion<\/p>\n

Early detection can help prevent complications.<\/p>\n
