Study: Heat Stress Endangers Rural India's Health

Imagine it's really hot outside, and it can get even hotter inside some houses in rural India, especially those with tin roofs.

A recent study showed that many people living in these houses feel sick because of the heat.

They might feel very tired, sweat a lot, or be extremely thirsty.

The study found that many houses have tin roofs which trap the heat.

To stay cool, people wear loose clothes and drink water.

Researchers suggest that a special plan is needed to help people in these areas deal with the heat.
