Heat can lead to health issues when it disrupts the body's temperature regulation system. Normally, the body cools itself through sweating. However, in certain environmental conditions, this mechanism may not work effectively.

As a result, body temperature can rise to dangerously high levels, potentially damaging vital organs. Several factors influence an individual's ability to regulate their body temperature, including age, health status, and medication use. Those most at risk include the elderly, individuals with health issues, people who regularly take medication, infants and young children, and those who engage in strenuous outdoor activities.
