YOUR AMAZING BODY

IT’S possible to become so hot that you stop sweating.

Sweating helps to regulate body temperature, typically keeping it somewhere between 37C and 38C.

If body temperature rises above 40C, heatstroke can occur – where vital organs are unable to function.

Perhaps confusingly, the first sign of heatstroke can be a lack of sweat since the body prioritises keeping water around vital organs to protect them.

If a person is extremely hot, and not sweating, it is vital that they swiftly seek medical attention.
