In this circumstances, the body must choose where it has to give the blood, whether to the main organs such as liver, kidneys, brain, and so on or to the skin. The main organs are more important so they will receive the blood. Because of the drop in fluids, as consequence, the body can not produce the sweat and cannot cool itself. This situation becomes complicated. Since the skin gets no blood supply, excess heat cannot be released through the skin. The lack of blood supply and the inability to sweat together cause the body to overheat.
Heatstroke must be treated immediately or it can cause permanent injury and chances of survival can be slim.
