[QUOTE="dbier, post: 1048724, member: 100378"] To try to help clarify the advice....Basically, if the person is confused, groggy, or unconscious, *****don't***** try to put liquid down their throat. They run the risk of choking/aspirating. If they're conscious enough to swallow properly, offer sips of fluid, not gallons. With heat exhaustion that is trying to transition to heat stroke, we would try to get ice and pack the armpits and groin area with it while waiting for advanced life support. Dumping water on skin and then fanning vigorously is not as effective, but better than nothing. And shade them by whatever means available... [/QUOTE]
