Most often these problems occur on hazy, hot and humid days. According to Neal Flomenbaum, M.D., at New York Weill Cornell Center of New York Presbyterian Hospital, heat-related injuries can range from a relatively minor problem such as heat cramps, to a more serious condition such as heat stroke, which can be fatal. Common heat-related injuries include muscle cramps due to heavy loss of water and salt through perspiration; heat exhaustion in the form of headaches, nausea and weakness; and heat stroke. Heat stroke occurs when an individual can no longer sweat and their temperature control mechanism stops working, said Dr. Flomenbaum. At first, it will seem like heat exhaustion, but the patient may begin to experience confusion, seizures and eventually lapse into a coma. Dr. Flomenbaum suggests the following tips to prevent you and your family from heat stroke:

72. Heat Injuries And Pesticide Use heatrelated injuries are largely brought on by heat and dehydration and withproper care it is possible to prevent them. http://scarab.msu.montana.edu/extension/MT_PAT/Info/Heat_stress.htm

Pesticides Montana Pesticide Education Program Even in Montana there are times during the growing season when the temperature stays above 90 o F. High air temperatures coupled with low humidity put agricultural workers at special risk of heat illness. Worker Compensation claims for heat illness among agricultural workers are among the highest of any occupation. Pesticide handlers and early entry workers are at even greater risk. The special clothing and equipment they wear for protection from exposure to pesticides can restrict the evaporation of sweat, blocking the body's natural way of cooling itself, which results in a buildup of body temperature. Exposure to certain pesticides can also produce sweating and there can be combined effects with exposure to heat. In addition, pesticides are absorbed through hot, sweaty skin more quickly than through cool skin. What is heat stress? Heat stress occurs when the body builds up more heat than it can cope with. Heat stress is not caused by exposure to pesticides, but may affect pesticide handlers working in hot conditions. Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) that protect the body from contact with pesticides can increase the risk of heat stress by interfering with the body's natural ability to cool down. When the body becomes overheated, less blood goes to the active muscles, the brain, and other internal organs. Workers get weaker, become tired sooner, and may be less alert, less able to use good judgment, and less able to do their jobs well.

In the United States, about 30 million children and teens participate in some form of organized sports, and more than 3.5 million injuries each year, which cause some loss of time of participation, are experienced by the participants. Almost one-third of all injuries incurred in childhood are sports-related injuries. By far, the most common injuries are sprains and strains. Obviously, some sports are more dangerous than others. For example, contact sports such as football can be expected to result in a higher number of injuries than a non-contact sport such as swimming. However, all types of sports have a potential for injury, whether from the trauma of contact with other players or from overuse or misuse of a body part.
