Everyone’s prone to heat-related illness, but you may have risk factors that make you more vulnerable to heatstroke, heat exhaustion or heat cramps.

The National Safety Council says you’re at greater risk if:

• You have a chronic heart or circulatory problem.
• You’re a senior citizen.
• You work outside.
• You take certain medications, especially those that help regulate body temperature or sweat.
• You abuse drugs or alcohol.
