## Caption

When summer temperatures soar, your body can go from hot to overheated in minutes, especially during outdoor activities. 

Heat stroke is the most dangerous heat-related illness. It’s more than just overheating—it's when your body temperature rises to a life-threatening level and your cooling system shuts down. Quick action is critical. 

Warning signs to watch out for are: 
- Hot, dry skin — with little or no sweating 
- Confusion, dizziness or slurred speech 
- A rapid, strong pulse 
- Vomiting, seizures or passing out 

If you see any of these signs: 
- Call 911 right away. 
- Move the person to a cooler place — in the shade or indoors. 
- Remove excess clothing.  
- Start cooling the person with cold, wet cloths, ice packs on the neck and underarms, or even a cold bath if you can. 

Heat stroke can cause permanent damage—or worse—if not treated quickly. Know the warning signs and stay alert to protect yourself and those you care about.
