Heat exhaustion is different and more serious. You may see confusion, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, massive sweating, visual issues, fainting, rapid heart rate, dark urine. Babies, elderly, and folks with health conditions are more vulnerable. Cooling and rehydration must happen. Fan, cool mist, cool/wet cloth, electrolytes. Don't RUSH fluid...slow consistent sips.

Feels like regular muscle cramps but doesn't go away with movement/putting weight on the leg/walking, etc. Heat cramps occur in larger muscles, usually after exertion in the heat and and related to dehydration and loss of electrolytes.

What to do? Grab a seat in the shade or cool area, drink some water, take in some Celtic Sea Salt and/or Missing Link. Massage the area gently.
