Heat Cramps... You experience muscle spasms, heavy sweating, and fatigue. The body temperature stays normal.
Heat Syncope... Your blood pressure temporarily drops, resulting in light-headedness or fainting.
Heat Exhaustion... Extreme weakness, exhaustion, headache, dizziness, nausea, profuse sweating, cool skin, rapid pulse, and sometimes unconsciousness. Again, your body temperature remains normal.
Heat Stroke... Headache, nausea, confusion, and a loss of physical control. Your skin is hot and dry, your body temperature extremely high. There can be collapse and unconsciousness, and, in extreme situations, death.
Let's be careful out there, kids.
