Watch for symptoms of heat exhaustion and seek medical help immediately when symptoms appear. If heat-related symptoms appear, immediate action should be taken to reduce body temperature. The above recommendations should be adequate to relieve mild symptoms. However, symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, and fatigue are early warning signs that should not be ignored. Onset of heat stroke can be rapid and may progress to life-threatening illness within minutes.
Serious cases require emergency medical care.
