sunstroke

Initially doctors thought she had sunstroke, says Caroline, but an MRI scan revealed it was more serious and she was flown back to the UK by air ambulance.

“I didn’t know what sunstroke was, and nobody had told me what could happen.”

On the first day, said Mr. Gao, 39, he had sunstroke.

She was admitted to The Grange University Hospital with suspected sunstroke but later diagnosed with viral meningitis and put into an induced coma.

At most science institutions, safety lectures for field researchers and support staff teach how to avoid sunstroke, deploy emergency flares, and handle variables such as wild animals and flammable liquids.
