You’ll know you’re suffering from heat exhaustion if you experience heavy sweating, moist skin with goosebumps, faintness, dizziness, fatigue, a weak or rapid pulse, muscle cramps, nausea, and a headache. If it becomes serious, you can suffer from a heat stroke (when your body temp reaches over 104F), in which case medical attention is necessary to prevent damage to your brain and other vital organs. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, get out of the heat and cool yourself off as quickly as possible by drinking cold water and taking a cool shower. If you don’t feel better after 30 minutes, see a doctor immediately.
