Know what you can do if someone:

 


Gets hot and dehydrates

    . Move them to a cooler, quiet area (outside is often best).
. Remove excess clothing and try to cool them down.
. Encourage them to sip non-alcoholic fluids such as fruit juice and isotonic sports drinks (about a pint every hour).
. If symptoms persist call an ambulance, but make sure someone stays with them.
 

Ecstasy and speed affect the body's temperature control. if users dance energetically without taking regular breaks or keeping up fluids, there is a real danger that their bodies could overheat and dehydrate (lose too much body fluid). Warning signs include: cramps, fainting, headache or sudden tiredness
