With the way the planet is heating up, I think we would all do well to thoroughly familiarize ourselves with how to recognize these conditions.

Anyone choosing to be outside in the kind of weather Washington DC and other parts of the US are experiencing right now needs to take particular care. A lot of people seem to feel like they should just try to push through the heat when they should be exerting themselves as little as possible, looking for shade, and drinking water like it's going out of style. Ignoring the very real dangers of getting overheated is what leads to incidents like the ones at the so-called Great American State Fair.
