The link will inform you more. Heat Exhaustion and heat stroke are the two results of overheating.
The term you are looking for is Hyperthermia. This is the inability of the body to remove heat as quickly as it is being produced. The body is not made to operate at these temperatures, it causes the electrical impulses in nerves and muscles to fire sporadicly. When this happens, the brain is no longer able to perform necessary functions to continue life. You stop breathing, and your heart stops beating. Additionally overheating "denatures" proteins in our bodies which causes irreversible damage.
you sweat for one. if your body temperature still rises and your body can’t fight it off you can get really sick like FAST and you can have seizures.
It happened to my cousin when she was like 3
Hyperthermia. You body first starts to sweat and vasodilation (blood vessels dilate) occurs to remove heat from blood and body. You may experience low blood pressure since blood vessels dilate and dehydration. If temps get too high, proteins, which are crucial for survival, start to denature and break down. Neutransmitters are proteins and if they start to break down, neural problems occur such as difficulty moving. Hormones might not act as usual and the body can go hay wire and it can be difficult to regain homeostasis.
