According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are several kinds of heat-related illnesses to watch out for. Here's info about them and what to do if you experience symptoms:

What to do: Head to a cool area, get hydrated with water or a sports drink and take it easy the rest of the day. Get medical help if your cramps last more than an hour, you're on a low-sodium diet or have heart problems.

What to do: Get to a cool area, loosen your clothes, put cool, wet cloth on your body or take a cool bath, sip water. Call 911 if necessary — especially for people with underlying health conditions. You should also get medical help if you are throwing up, your symptoms get worse or last longer than an hour.

What to do: First responders recommend calling 911 right away because heatstroke is a medical emergency. Move the person to a cool place and lower their temperature with cool cloth or a cool bath. Do not give them anything to drink.

Sunburns can be painful, red and warm skin or have blisters. Heat rash is red clusters of small blisters that look like pimples and usually present on the neck, chest, groin or in the crease of your elbow.

What to do: You can stay out of the sun until your sunburn heals or put cool cloths on sunburned areas to get relief. Moisturizing lotion can also help but you shouldn't break blisters. For heat rash, stay in a cool, dry place. You can use baby powder on the rash for relief.
