The Arbaeen pilgrimage, one of the largest religious gatherings, exposes millions of participants to extreme physical and environmental challenges (Yousefi and Hasani, 2024). Among the most pressing health concerns is heat exhaustion, caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures, physical exertion, and inadequate fluid intake. While environmental factors contribute to this condition, proper hydration and nutrition play a crucial role in mitigating risks (Moulaei et al., 2024). This letter highlights the importance of hydration and nutrition in preventing heat exhaustion among Arbaeen pilgrims and proposes practical interventions to enhance their safety.
