From the Mississippi Dept of Health:
Some of the state's hottest weather this year is ahead this week, and Mississippians, especially those who are older, should take precautions. In 2012, 11 Mississippians died from heat exposure.
To stay safe this year, we recommend that you:
Be aware of the symptoms of heat exhaustion:
Cool off immediately if these symptoms are present, and seek medical help if they are severe, or if you have high blood pressure or heart problems.
