X30: Exposure to excessive natural heat

Exposure to excessive natural heat occurs when the body is subjected to high temperatures outdoors, primarily due to prolonged exposure to the sun. This can lead to various health issues, such as sunburn, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. These conditions occur when the body's temperature-regulating mechanisms cannot cope with the heat, resulting in elevated body temperature. Common symptoms include fatigue, headache, dizziness, muscle cramps, excessive sweating, rapid breathing, and decreased urine output. In severe cases, symptoms may progress to confusion, erratic heartbeat, and loss of consciousness. High-risk individuals include the elderly, infants, outdoor workers, and those with pre-existing medical conditions. This group of conditions primarily affects the skin and cardiovascular and nervous systems. The impact can range from mild discomfort to life-threatening situations if not managed properly.
