Heat stroke is a form of overheating (hyperthermia);a condition where an individual's body temperature rises beyond normal due to failed thermoregulation.
Heat stroke happens when thermoregulation is submerged by a combined actions which include too much metabolic heat production, excess environmental heat, and inadequate loss of heat; This amounts to an abnormally rise in the body temperature and it can be prevented by observing precautions to avoid overheating and dehydration such as wearing of light and loose-fitting clothes to allow perspiration to evaporate and cool the body;, etc.
