The body is trying to cool down by sweating. Get indoors, drink water, lie down, damp cool cloths at the pulse points helps.

Heat stroke: Flushed, dry skin, dizzy, weakness, disorientation. Temperature rapidly rises above 105F. The body is dehydrated and can't regulate its temperature. Extremely dangerous condition. Call 911. In the mean time, get victim out of the sun, if they're conscious have them drink lots of tepid water. If you can soak them in water, if they can get in bath tub or shower, good. If not, throw buckets of water on them or use a garden hose. Minimum, wrap their chest and head with wet cool towels. The body must be cooled down as quickly as possible.

Exhaustion: Miserable and can cause stroke, if not treated

Stroke: Can kill you.

Drink water, lots of water.
