The first defense against heat illness is prevention. Avoid heavy physical exertion in the middle of the day. Keep windows open for ventilation in cars or houses without air conditioning. If these tips are ignored or the heat is too intense and a heat illness occurs, first aid is required. Give a conscious person sips of cool, diluted fruit juice, sports drink or water.
Heat illness is an emergency situation and requires medical care.
