Signs of heat-related illnesses

Signs of heat-related illnesses include:

  • an extremely high body temperature (above 103°F)
  • red, hot and dry skin (no sweating)
  • rapid, strong pulse
  • throbbing headache
  • dizziness; nausea; confusion
  • muscle cramps
  • tiredness and unconsciousness
     

If someone starts to experience these symptoms, seek medical help immediately and move them to a shady spot, if outdoors, and begin cooling them using whatever methods are available. Monitor body temperature, and continue cooling efforts until the body temperature drops to 101-102°F.
