Border Patrol Agents: Stay Vigilant in the Heat!

As Border Patrol agents, you’re no stranger to working long hours in extreme heat. But with rising temperatures, heat stroke becomes a real and dangerous threat.

•Confusion, throbbing headache

•Lack of sweating

•Body temp over 103°F

•Red, hot, dry skin

•Rapid, strong pulse

•Nausea or vomiting

•Risk of unconsciousness

These are signs of heat stroke, the most severe heat-related illness — and it can be life-threatening if not treated immediately.

If you or a fellow agent starts showing symptoms, don’t wait. Get emergency care fast.
