Sunstroke is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous to deadly， especially ifproper care isn’t given immediately.

Sunstroke， sometimes called heatstroke， is a result of the body temperature risingabove the safe limit. This causes the body’s necessary functions to stop working.

It’s usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke， as long as proper action is taken. In thatcase， you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person’s body to a safe tempera⁃ture. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.

Call for help

Call to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do，especially if the sunstroke person has fainted （昏倒）. Also， call for help from anyone nearbyif you’re in a public place. If there’s no one around， call someone nearby if they can getthere sooner than an ambulance. Ask someone to bring you as much water as possible， ifthere isn’t much nearby.

Get the person to a cooler area

If there’s a building nearby， aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioners andwater is perfect. If a building isn’t available， bring the person to a well⁃shaded area.

Get the water flowing

If the person is still conscious， get him or her to drink water. If there’s a bathtub  avail⁃able， fill it with cool water and put the person in it.

If your water supply is limited， you have to save it. Dampen a towel or a shirt and putit on the person’s body. Focus on the face， neck， and chest.

Fan the person

Getting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything， a towel or asheet， a shirt， your hands， or a piece of board. This is where having many people aroundreally helps， as they can combine to fan the entire body.
