I feel like this image might be useful for the non-furries this week. heat exhaustion = get to a cool place, drink water heat stroke = get medical attention

    @beeps@social.beeps.gay I'd like to add that heat stroke can often also come with confused behaviour even with a lower measured body temp. Hard to recognize in yourself but definitely something to watch for in others!

  • @beeps@social.beeps.gay I experienced this sort of "transition" from heat exhaustion to heat stroke some years ago. I fell asleep at a 110 °F heat and It was afternoon. I woke up at around 1 AM. I wasn't sweating anymore, felt dizzy with a throbbing headache but I still had a cool skin. I feel like my legs would cramp anytime at that moment too. I was never hungry for water until that moment.

    @beeps@social.beeps.gay I'll add... get electrolytes, and get a banana or another source of potassium. Electrolyte mixtures almost never have potassium, hypokalemia has some of the traits of heat exhaustion, there's evidence suggesting Hypokalemia makes you more prone to heat stroke, and sweating / urinating depletes it the same as other minerals.

    @beeps@social.beeps.gay the best thing to remember is if you are feeling really REALLY hot and you stop sweating. thats a very good indicator or heat stroke (i grew up in tucson and this gets 100% drilled into your head)

    @beeps@social.beeps.gay Can confirm. I once had heat exhaustion, and my knees never lost consciousness.

  • @beeps@social.beeps.gay something in our genetics makes our body get heat stroke super easily, though heat exhaustion can be combatted decently by switching body over to  estrogen in summer + having AC & a map of town by distance and what stores have AC + cold towels

  • @beeps@social.beeps.gay heat stroke victims may be confused or incapable of seeking or reaching help, so be prepared to render first aid and find help for them. Get them to shelter or shade, lie them down in a cool / low a place as possible (hot air rises) and help them hydrate. A cold bath or shower can help lower core temp quickly. Keep their skin wet and prioritize cooling their head, neck, armpits, and groin with water, ice, cold packs, damp towels, anything available.
