Explanation

If a person is losing their concentration, becoming irritable, and losing the desire to drink, it indicates that they are overheated. These symptoms are commonly associated with heat exhaustion or heat stroke, which occur when the body's temperature regulation system is overwhelmed by excessive heat. When the body overheats, it can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and impaired cognitive function. It is important to address overheating promptly to prevent further complications and provide appropriate cooling measures.
