mia include an increase in the normal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of the hyperthermia include failure to perceive
heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the room, unawareness of impending
hazard, fetal damage in pregnant women, physical inability to exit the room and
unconsciousness.

The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication is capable of greatly increasing the risk of
fatal hyperthermia.
