Answer:
Hyperthermia is an abnormally high body temperature caused by a failure of the heat-regulating mechanisms of the body to deal with the heat coming from the environment.
Possible Causes:
- Cold Exposure. When the balance between the body's heat production and heat loss tips toward heat loss for a prolonged period, hypothermia can occur.
- Certain medical conditions such as diabetes and thyroid conditions, some medications, severe trauma, or using drugs or alcohol all increase the risk of hypothermia.
