Keeping cool in blistering hot weather
by Dana Sparks, July 1, 2018

"If you suspect #heatstroke, call 911. Then immediately move the person out of the heat, remove excess clothing, and cool him or her by whatever means available. Cooling methods include:

- Placing in a tub of cool water or a cool shower
- Spraying with a garden hose
- Sponging with cool water
- Fanning while misting with cool water
- Placing ice packs or cool wet towels on the neck, armpits and groin
- Covering with cool, damp sheets

"Let the person drink cool water to rehydrate, if he or she is able. Don't give sugary, caffeinated or alcoholic beverages to a person with heatstroke. Also avoid cold drinks, as these can cause stomach cramps.

"Begin CPR if the person loses consciousness and shows no signs of circulation, such as breathing, coughing or movement."
