Talk:Hyperthermia

Hyperthermia in animals

This article presumes that this is a medical condition of humans. Wouldn't the same term be used to describe the condition - but with different critical temperatures in other animals? Rmhermen 14:59, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)

Delete the "heat exhaustion" link at the bottom of the page? Because of the re-direct, it currently leads directly back to this page again. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.77.19.78 (talk • contribs) 21:55, 1 June 2005.

After-effects

I suffered some sort of heat exhaustion while abroad in Egypt this summer. Ever since, I can hardly handle sun anymore without becoming naseaus and dizzy. I'm 21 and live in California, so this is really scaring me. Is there any information on the after-effects of hyperthermia?

calenture is also the name of a Finnish rock band [disambiguation}

My apologies for not knowing the proper etiquette for offering comments on Wikipedia entries. I am a newcomer but an enthusiastic one. I have seen these "disambiguation" pages, and I thought that these comments might belong to such a page: (1) "Calenture" happens to be the name of a Finnish rock band: http://www.calenture.net/ (2) "Calenture" is also a term used on the 3rd page of a comic fantasy novel called "Going Postal" by Terry Pratchett. signed: S.J.

Hi SJ. As (2) is just a term, it would go in Wiktionary rather than Wikipedia. As there is currently no Wikipedia article for the rock band, there is currently no need for a disambiguation page. Disambiguation pages are not needed for every occurrence of a word in the English language - only where there are 2 or more Wikipedia articles. Nurg 11:01, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heat exhaustion

What are the symptoms and characteristics of heat exhaustion or heat prostration? Nurg 11:05, 27 February 2006 (UTC) in this early stage of heat illness, one has confusion, cramps, and nausea but is still able to sweat. when it goes to heat "stroke", you can't sweat so your temp shoots way up and you go on to seizures, organ failure, and often death.Sfahey 17:28, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Both 'heat exhaustion' and 'heat prostration' redirect here. However, I feel this condition is not adequately covered by this article. Suggest that either this article be expanded to cover that condition, or it gets it's own seperate page?shockeroo 10 June 2006

I agree. These are lesser degrees of hyperthermia, and should be dealt with here. Sfahey 19:04, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would also support splitting that content out into its own article. --Arcadian 19:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
