Dehydration, alcohol consumption and certain medications can also increase your risk of heat stroke.

A person suffering from heat stroke has a body temperature over 40.5°C and is weak and confused. He or she could also have a rapid pulse and breathing. 

If this occurs, it is essential that you lower the person’s body temperature as quickly as possible by undressing them and applying cold water to the body. You can also use a fan to help cool them down. If possible, have the person drink cold water. If the individual seems confused or lethargic, go to the emergency room immediately or call 911.

Answer: 

Sunscreen is effective in any form—cream, lotion, spray, gel or stick—as long as it is applied as directed on the packaging. Products recommended by the Canadian Dermatology Association include a variety of sunscreens in spray form.
