Never Leave Your Kids Alone In a Car  What is Hyperthermia?
Hyperthermia, also known as, Heat stroke occurs when a person's
temperature exceeds 104 degrees F and their temperature
regulating system is overwhelmed. Symptoms can include:
dizziness, disorientation, agitation, confusion, sluggishness,
seizure, hot dry skin that is flushed but not sweaty, loss of
consciousness, rapid heartbeat and hallucinations. A core body
temperature of 107 degrees F is considered lethal as cells are
damaged and internal organs shut down.  A child’s temperature
regulating system is not as developed as an adult’s.
Consequently a child’s body temperatures can warm at a rate 3 to
5 times faster than an adult’s.Children have died from heat
stroke in a vehicle with outside temperatures as low as 57
degrees F.  Get the Safety Tips You Need to Keep Your Kids Safe
