title: Common threads in a random tapestry: another viewpoint on exertional heatstroke.
abstract: Issues surrounding heat illness remain somewhat controversial, and our understanding of exertional heatstroke is evolving. The ability of humans to compete and work in hot, humid conditions with a low incidence of exertional heatstroke demonstrates tremendous adaptability. On the other hand, the occurrence of exertional heatstroke in conditions that should be prime for all-out physical effort remains puzzling and problematic.
