Get out of the heat. Keep cool and stay alive. When the temperatures soar, the body can overheat to such an extent that it can no longer regulate its own temperature through perspiration and the evaporation of sweat, which lowers body temperatures.
That is when the body can suffer from heatstroke, which may lead to organ failure and death.
