heat Stroke

Arizona is one of America's most beautiful states, but as summer ramps up you should make sure you're taking the proper precautions to protect yourself from the heat.

There's no state in the Union with a heat problem quite like Arizona. With heat related deaths in the hundreds every year, this has become one of the most hostile environments in the continental United States.

Going outside during the summer feels like there's no escape from the oppressive heat. Even pockets of shade or stores with Air Conditioning seem to do little to cool down the body enough to be comfortable.

Last summer was the deadliest in Phoenix's history. 645 residents of Phoenix alone passed away due to heat related illnesses, and this summer's shaping up to be worse.
