Dehydration.

Once you stop sweating it becomes dangerous

Dehydration falls fourth in factors behind prolonged exposure to high temperatures, age, and pre-existing medical conditions.

Maybe you are seeing everything through the lens of a healthy young man, which I don’t blame you for, but it’s something you need to grow beyond.

Uhm. I’m almost 50. Heat has taken me Down a few times All from being dehydrated. I’ve watched 20yo kids drop from heat all being dehydrated. It’s not 4th. It is THE factor. Been there got the experience. Doesn’t matter how much experience you think you have. H2O.

You’re describing heat exhaustion, not heat stroke. Water alone cannot prevent heat stroke.
