Why is this sunstroke?
Dry heat is usually the main cause of heatstroke or sunstroke. Generally, if the humidity in the air is high, i.e. moist heat, the chances of this stroke are greatly reduced. Arunanshu Talukder, a doctor of medicine, believes that body heat is controlled through the thermostat that exists in the hypothalamus of the brain. Heatstroke or sunstroke can occur only if there is a direct effect on the hypothalamus due to excessive temperature. When body temperature reaches abnormal levels, sweating may stop. Dehydration in the body further accelerates this condition.
