Texas currently has an excessive heat warning in effect. During this period, heat related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke will be prevalent.
Heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke. It is important to make sure that if your child has heat exhaustion they are put in an air-conditioned room with plenty of water to cool down. A lukewarm shower can also help.
Here are some tips and tricks for preventing heat-related illnesses:
