Do you know how to tell the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke?

Signs of Heat Exhaustion include:
🔸 Heavy sweatingand a “prickly heat” sensation
🔸 Pale, clammy skin
🔸 Dizziness or weakness
🔸 Headache
🔸 Nausea or vomiting
🔸 Muscle cramps

Move your child to a cool place and initiate simple cooling measures (such as ice packs, fanning, cold towels) along with drinking water.

Signs of Heat Stroke:
🔸Throbbing/severe headache
🔸Muscle Cramps
🔸Nausea/vomiting
🔸𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 (𝟭𝟬𝟰°𝗙 𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿)
🔸𝗔𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘂𝘀 (𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗶𝘇𝘂𝗿𝗲)

Heat stroke is a medical emergency. Call 911 immediately. While waiting for help, move your child to a cooler area and begin cooling them with cool water, ice packs, or cool, wet towels. Do not force fluids if they are confused or unconscious.

Knowing the difference can make all the difference. Stay hydrated, take frequent breaks in the shade, and avoid strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day.*
