| In the summer
the combination of high heat and humidity can be dangerous for some people.
Those most at risk include the elderly, people with certain
chronic conditions (such as heart or lung problems), people who can't move or change position by themselves, infants
and preschool children, people who work or exercise outdoors for a long period of time, and people taking certain
medications, especially those for mental health conditions.
