Heat vs. Human: What Happens to Your Body at 50°C and Beyond?

Extreme Dehydration: At 50°C, your body loses water rapidly through sweat. Without enough hydration, vital organs begin to struggle.

Heat Exhaustion: Symptoms like dizziness, nausea, rapid heartbeat, and fatigue appear. Your body struggles to maintain its core temperature.

Sweat Becomes Less Effective: The high humidity and temperature reduce the cooling effect of sweat, making your body even hotter.

Increased Heart Rate: Your heart works overtime to pump blood to the skin to release heat. This can lead to cardiovascular stress.

Heat Cramps: Muscles may cramp due to electrolyte loss from excessive sweating, especially during physical activity.

Cognitive Impairment: High temperatures affect brain function, causing confusion, irritability, and impaired judgment.

Heat Stroke Risk: At body temperatures of 40°C (104°F) or higher, the body’s cooling system fails—potentially fatal without quick medical help.

Organ Failure: Prolonged heat stroke can lead to the failure of vital organs like kidneys, liver, and the brain.
