Tips to Prevent Heat Exhaustion
  1. Wear light, loose fitting clothes. Dark, tight clothes trap the heat and don't allow you to cool down.
  2. Avoid sunburn- wear sunscreen and reapply!
  3. Drink plenty of water.
  4. Don't exercise or do strenuous work. If you can't avoid it, try to stay in the shade.
  5. Stay in the air conditioning, or use a fan if possible. Don't stay in a car.

Signs of Heat Exhaustion:
  1. heavy sweating
  2. faintness
  3. weak or rapid pulse
  4. nausea
  5. headache
  6. low-grade fever
