    Heat stroke is the most serious form of heat injury that can occur when the body overheats to 104°F or higher, usually as a result of prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, red skin, nausea, vomiting, fever, joint pain, and loss of consciousness. First aid involves moving the patient to a cool, well-ventilated area, removing excess clothing, placing ice packs in armpits and neck, and keeping the patient cool by fanning and applying water to their skin with towels. Preventing heat stroke requires drinking fluids, wearing light clothing, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and meeting salt needs with oral rehydration salts.
