Description: Administering first aid for heat-related illnesses requires the ability to identify symptoms like excessive sweating, fatigue, lightheadedness, and nausea, which could signal heat exhaustion or heat stroke. It is essential to relocate the individual to a cooler area, offer fluids such as water or electrolyte beverages, and place cool, damp cloths on their skin. If the symptoms escalate or fail to improve, it is vital to seek medical help right away, as heat stroke can be life-threatening and demands immediate attention. #heat
