Heat Exhaustion Or Heat Stroke.
Keep an eye on those around you, especially during this current heat.

Do you know what the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke is?

Heat exhaustion and heat stroke both stem from extreme heat, but heat exhaustion is a milder warning sign caused by water and salt loss, while heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency where the body's cooling system fails completely and core temperature spikes to (40 degrees Celsius or 104 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher.

If you think you may have heat exhaustion, remember to:

* Stop physical activity & move to a cool or shaded area.
* Loosen tight clothing.
* Sip cool water or sports drinks.
* Take a cool shower or use cold compresses.

Note: If a person does not improve within 30 minutes, it may progress to heat stroke

If you think you may have heat stroke, remember to:
* Call 911 immediately.
* While waiting for help, move the person to a cooler environment, remove excess layers, and actively cool them down with wet cloths, ice packs, or a fan.
* Do not give them fluids if they are confused, vomiting, or unconscious.

Understanding the differences between the two conditions ensures proper action can be taken.

✨ Trick-or-treat with a grown-up.
✨ Carry a flashlight or glow stick.
✨ Stay away from lit candles.
