What does heat stroke do to the body

Although heat stroke mainly affects people over age 50, it also takes a toll on healthy young athletes.

Heat stroke often occurs as a progression from milder heat-related illnesses such as heat cramps, heat syncope (fainting), and heat exhaustion. But it can strike even if you have no previous signs of heat injury.

Heat stroke results from prolonged exposure to high temperatures -- usually in combination with dehydration -- which leads to failure of the body's temperature control system. The medical definition of heat stroke is a core body temperature greater than 104 degrees Fahrenheit, with complications involving the central nervous system that occur after exposure to high temperatures.

What, can you do if you are the victim of a bully? (Think in terms of being ages 13-15, late middle school or early high school.
mihalych1998 [28]

It depends on what the bully does. If he/she punches you then hit back. You would get in trouble for that but I'd rather get in trouble than get beat up all the time. If he/she hurts you with words, just ignore them. If they really do get on your nerves then respond back but don't start an arguement because you'll get mad and that's exactly what they want.
