Heat stroke is a severe form of heat-related illness that occurs when the body's temperature rises to dangerous levels, typically above 104¡ÆF (40¡ÆC), due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures or physical exertion in hot environments. It is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention, as the body's ability to regulate temperature fails.
