Officials say knowing the different between heat stroke and heat exhaustion symptoms can help protect yourself in the harsh summer heat in the Houston-area.
Health officials said heat stroke isn't the only illness that comes from over exposure to extreme heat. It's important to know how to identify if you or your family member is experiencing heat exhaustion.
Those symptoms include cool/pale/clammy skin, muscle cramps, heavy sweating, fast/weak pulse, dizziness, weakness or tiredness, nausea, and vomiting. First aid for those suffering heat exhaustion is to move the affected person to a cooler environment, preferably a well air-conditions room, loosen clothing, apply cool/wet cloths, or have the affected person sit in a cool bath, and offer sips of water.
