Subject: Heat exhaustion warning..
Submitter: Bruce K Bengry, Safety Specialist, Public Safety

Message: warning of dangerously high heat;

Description:
Heat exhaustion is a serious illness caused by too much heat. It is often brought on by overexertion or profuse sweating in a hot, humid, poorly ventilated environment. During prolonged heat waves, the very young and the very old are also often at risk, even if they are not active. Luckily, if heat exhaustion is recognized and treated promptly, the effects can easily be reversed.
Symptoms Signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion include:
- Feeling weak, faint or dizzy, with an accompanying
headache or nausea
- Cold, clammy skin with ashen pallor
- Dry tongue and thirst
- Severe muscle fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Profuse sweating
- Physical collapse, with muscle fatigue and sometimes
cramping

Treatment:
The two basic steps in treating heat exhaustion are to replenish the body's lost fluids and to cool the body's temperature.
- Move the person into a cool place out of the sun.
- Loosen any tight-fitting clothing and remove any extra layers
of clothing.
- Offer the person fluids such as water, fruit or vegetable
juices, or sports drinks. Do not offer drinks that contain
alcohol or caffeine. Encourage the person to drink about a
half glass of fluid every 15 to 20 minutes.
- Help the person cool off by sponging him or her with cool
water, or applying cool, wet cloths such as towels or sheets.

In most cases, the person will begin to feel better within 30 minutes. If symptoms do not clear up, or if the person begins to lose consciousness, call for emergency medical assistance
