The point can then be fixed as the third point of a triangle with one known

-Q: What should you not do for someone suffering from heat stroke? - -A:
Ice Blanket, do not give them food or water. While waiting for the
paramedics to arrive, initiate first aid. Move the person to an air-conditioned
environment -- or at least a cool, shady area -- and remove any unnecessary
clothing. If possible, take the person's core body temperature and initiate
first aid to cool it to 101 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit. If no thermometers are
available, don't hesitate to initiate first aid.
You may also try these cooling strategies:
• Fan air over the patient while wetting his or her skin with water from a
sponge or garden hose.
• Apply ice packs to the patient's armpits, groin, neck, and back. Because
these areas are rich with blood vessels close to the skin, cooling them may
reduce body temperature.
• Immerse the patient in a shower or tub of cool water, or an ice bath.

non-prescription pain medication

alcohol or drugs if so requested by a law enforcement official. If you refuse to
be tested, you will be subject to arrest and punishment consistent with the
penalties described above.
Possession or use of drinking devices for the rapid consumption of large
amounts of alcohol, commonly referred to as "beer bongs," along with four
gallon containers which hold any alcoholic beverage are prohibited on the
state's rivers except the Mississippi, Missouri, and Osage Rivers.
