Emergencies

Heat stroke

Symptoms

red, hot head; warm, almost hot skin; racing pulse, nausea

What to do

It is important to place the person so that their head is up (sit them down, and stay by them). Give him/her vitamins and mineral drinks. If you're at a party, the best thing is to find a chill out area (if there is one) or to go outside. Otherwise, find a calm, cool corner to stay.

If the person doesn't get better, call the emergency services! In this case too, stay with the person the whole time and check their breathing and pulse.
