Looking at the previous day’s comic, you can see her sweating, so it is probably “Heat Exhaustion” not “Heat Stroke.”
HE was explained to me as the body not being able to keep up, by sweating, etc. (cool wet skin) Cool the person down.
HS was the body giving up, and the person not sweating anymore (Hot dry skin – turning red) – and immediately life threatening! Soak the person in ice water if available!
An over-simplification for sure. I’m remembering this from 35 years ago, but it was the one question that I missed on my Red Cross “First Responders” test.
