Heat Stroke

Alert: Unlike heat exhaustion, heat stroke is a medical emergency, and an ambulance should be called immediately. Do not attempt to treat a case of heat stroke on your own. You can help while waiting for medical assistance to arrive by doing the following:

• Call or seek medical assistance.
• Move the person to a cooler environment, or place him or her in a cool bath of water (as long as he or she is conscious and can be attended continuously).
• Alternatively, moisten the skin with lukewarm water and use a fan to blow cool air across the skin.
• Give cool beverages by mouth if the person will tolerate it.
