** How do the Maasai survive the heat? ** ** The Dangers Posed by Hot Weather to the Maasai! **  Overheating can result in discomfort and heat cramps, heat exhaustion, or, most severely, heat stroke - which can be fatal. Hot weather can also aggravate existing health problems such as heart disease and respiratory illnesses, and these illnesses can compromise the body's ability to deal with the heat. Hot weather is not just an inconvenience, and it needs to be approached sensibly. ** Heat cramps ** are painful spasms in the muscles of the arms, legs, and abdomen. These spasms generally result from strenuous activity and may be accompanied by heavy sweating. They seldom require medical attention unless a person has heart disease or is on a low-sodium diet. They should seek medical attention if symptoms have not subsided after an hour. ** Heat exhaustion ** is a serious condition and should be treated as soon as possible. The symptoms of heat exhaustion include: ** Heat stroke ** is an emergency. Symptoms include:
 * cool, clammy skin
 * extreme fatigue
 * nausea
 * dizziness
 * light-headedness
 * vomiting

Clothing the Maasai wear! They wear loose clothing made of light-coloured, natural fabrics such as cotton and linen because it is the best thing to wear, because black and dark colours attract the sun and make you feel hotter. Loose fabrics so it can not stick to your skin. The Maasai wear light layers of clothing that cover most of the body. In hot climates, the sun is your enemy as much as the heat is, so it's better to cover up and sweat, rather than risk sunburn. Sunburn can limit their body's ability to cool itself and will cause additional loss of body fluids, pain, and damage to the skin.

People at Risk!

There are several groups of people who are at higher risk for heat-related illnesses. These include:

Pets and Other Animals!

Their animals are enduring the hot weather, too, and many of them are wear fur coats. They must have plenty of clean, fresh water available and a cool or shady place they can go to during the heat of the day. This is struggle for the Maasai because they have very little water to give them. my story!
