AUSTIN, Texas — It's a busy week of outdoor events in Austin.
About 10,000 people a day are heading to the Austin Country Club to cheer on their favorite golfers at Dell Match Play.
That means hours in the sun.
Doctors at Baylor Scott and White said you should not only wear sunscreen but also wear hats and try to limit your exposure to the sun by staying under the shade.
If you don't, you could increase your skin cancer risk and you could suffer from heat exhaustion.
"So, you start with dehydration," Dr. Samuel Deliberato said. "Where your body kind-of decreases its food volume. Decreased sweating, decreased urination. Dizziness. And then your body core temperature can raise, and that's when heat exhaustion can come on."
Heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke, which can shut down your organs.
Also consider using ice packs to decrease your body temperature.
"The biggest thing is make sure you increase your hydration with mostly water because your body needs water more than other things such as caffeinated drinks, which actually makes you go to the bathroom," Dr. Deliberato said.
Baylor Scott and White has a tent at Dell Match Play. They have three first aid tents where they are providing sunscreen, lip balm and fans to spectators.
