What is Hyperthermia?

  1. A type of cold injury

  2. A condition caused by excessive heat exposure

  3. A form of respiratory distress

  4. A neurological disorder

The correct answer is: A condition caused by excessive heat exposure

Hyperthermia is a condition that occurs when the body’s temperature regulation fails due to excessive heat exposure, leading to an elevated body temperature. This can happen in various situations, such as during intense physical activity in high temperatures or prolonged exposure to heat without adequate hydration or rest. The body struggles to dissipate heat effectively, which can result in serious health issues like heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Understanding hyperthermia is essential in animal control, particularly during hot weather or when dealing with animals that may be susceptible to heat stress. Providing timely interventions, such as cooling measures and hydration, is vital in addressing this dangerous condition.
