HEAT-RELATED ILLNESS

 

Answer

That is correct!  

 

         Heat cramps are muscle pain or spasms in the abdomen, arms, or legs that might result from strenuous activity.

 

         People who sweat a lot during strenuous activity are prone to heat cramps.

 

         Sweating depletes the body of salt and moisture. Low salt levels in the muscles causes painful cramps.

 

         Heat cramps may also be a symptom of heat exhaustion.

 

         If you have heart problems or are on a low-sodium diet, you are at risk for heat cramps and should seek medical attention.
