更新日:2026年07月06日

Heatstroke(熱中症)

Heatstroke is a condition that occurs when the body is exposed to high temperatures and humidity for an extended period, causing its temperature-regulating function to stop working properly. As a result, heat builds up in the body and various symptoms may occur. Heatstroke can develop even indoors or at night, and in severe cases, it can be life-threatening.
