	Heat Stroke
		Heat stroke is distinguished from heat exhaustion by the presence of clinically significant tissue injury.
		The clinical outcome of patients with heat stroke is primarily a function of the magnitude and duration of temperature elevation.
		Heat intolerant individuals are considered to have either limited thermoregulatory response to heat stress or limited capacity for heat acclimatization and, therefore, be predisposed to heat injury.

	Heat stroke signs, symptoms, and treatment by MedicineNet.com
		Heat stroke is a form of hyperthermia (abnormally elevated body temperature) with accompanying physical and neurological symptoms.
		The body normally generates heat as a result of metabolism, and the body is usually able to dissipate the heat by either radiation of heat through the skin or by evaporation of sweat.
		However, in extreme heat, high humidity, or vigorous exertion under the sun, the body may not be able to dissipate the heat and the body temperature rises, sometimes up to 106 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

		In some unfortunate situations where the heat stroke victim has experienced a dangerously high body temperature for a length of time such that too many brain and other body cells have been damaged, no matter what life saving measures are employed and bioprotective medications are administered, death will result.
