Summary
Louisiana’s first heat-related death of the year has been confirmed — an elderly resident of Lafayette — serving as a sobering wake-up call as temperatures climb. Though national heat fatalities have dipped from last year’s 31, ERs are still seeing a surge in heat exhaustion cases, especially among outdoor workers. Heatstroke, marked by dangerously high body temps and neurological symptoms, can be fatal if ignored. Experts urge hydration with electrolytes, seeking shade, and recognizing early warning signs — plus, be aware that some medications heighten risk. Stay cool, stay safe.
