Description: First aid for heat illness involves recognizing symptoms such as heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, and nausea, which may indicate heat exhaustion or heat stroke. It is crucial to move the affected person to a cooler environment, provide hydration with water or electrolyte drinks, and apply cool, wet cloths to their skin. If symptoms worsen or do not improve, seek medical attention immediately, as heat stroke can be life-threatening and requires urgent care. #heat
