When it comes to heat illness, knowing the warning signs can make a critical difference. Excessive cramping, whole-body cramps, and especially stopping sweating can be signs that an athlete needs immediate medical attention.
If an athlete is showing serious symptoms, don't wait. Call 911 and begin cooling the athlete right away. The priority is to lower their core body temperature as quickly as possible.
For parents, coaches, and athletes, understanding these warning signs and knowing when to act can help prevent a serious situation from becoming even more dangerous.
