    It’s not silent because we don’t know about it

    It’s silent because it’s literally silent. You can walk by someone dying from heat exposure and not really notice they’re dying. The person might not even realize how dangerous it is.

    Compare that to a stroke or heart attack and it makes sense why this is called a “silent killer”.
