Hyperthermia (heatstroke)When sweating, the body's natural cooling system ceases, the body temp. may rise to 40 degrees celcius or more. If not treated promptly by cooling the body and replacing body fluids lost through excessive perspiration, heatstroke will develop.

Treatment- Remove casualty to cool place
