resource graphic & tips from a first aid responder, just in case!
Signs of Heat Exhaustion:
Body Temperature is above 103 Fahrenheit/39.4 Celsius; look for red, hot, and/or dry skin
Possible hallucinations or otherwise altered mental state
Possible confusion, agitation, and/or aggravation
If someone is showing signs of Heat Exhaustion, do the following:
Move the person out of the heat and into a shaded, cool place, ideally somewhere that is air-conditioned if possible!
Slowly lay the person down and raise the legs and feet slightly.
Assist in removing excess layers of clothing, as well as anything that is tight and/or heavy.
Apply cool compresses to the neck, armpits, groin, wrists, and forehead.
Have them sip chilled water, a sports drink with electrolytes, or any non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated drink available
Continue to lower body temperature with cool water compresses and fanning
If symptoms do not improve, contact Emergency Services immediately!
If someone is showing signs of Heat Stroke, call Emergency Services immediately, then begin applying first aid as you would with Heat Exhaustion.
Please be safe out there y'all.
