Compare and contrast heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

        Heat exhaustion, and heat stroke are both caused from heat. Heat exhaustion comes on before heat stroke, being more mild, and not as severe. On the other hand, heat stroke is very serious and can result in damage to your internal organs, and/or brain. Tho very similar, they are different ways to handle both, along with a few different symptoms. With heat exhaustion the suspected case would have cool moist skin, heavy sweating, and low blood pressure. Heat stroke has alternate sweating, and their temperature being around 104 degrees fahrenheit. They both share the symptoms of nausea , dizziness, fatigue, and headache. If suspected heat exhaustion, you should sit in a cool shaded spot, rest, as well as drinking water and/or sports drink. If suspected heat stroke, seek medical help immediately, the longer it is left untreated the more damage done.

Heat exhaustion happens when the body is over heated, causing heavy sweating. Heat strokes are due to long exposure time to high temperatures and you start to sweat less.
