Heat stress refers to the overheating of the body, which can lead to various health issues and, if severe, can be life-threatening. This condition occurs when the body is unable to cool itself down effectively. Understanding heat stress is crucial for pesticide applicators as they work outdoors in various weather conditions, and recognizing the signs of heat stress can help prevent serious health consequences.
