Heat exhaustion: Heat exhaustion is caused by a loss of salt and water from the body, usually through excessive sweating.Help the person to a cool place. Get them to lie down with their legs raised. Give them plenty of water. Follow if possible with a weak salt solution - one teaspoon of salt per litre of water; assist the person to drink it. http://patient.info/health/dealing-with-the-effects-of-heat
