Melbourne, November 17 : A new study suggests that it may be better to immerse a heat stroke victim in temperate water rather than treat with the ice.

"Cooling in temperate water took only marginally longer than that in cold water, and one cannot imagine that the 45 (second) cooling difference would have any meaningful physiological or clinical implications," ABC Science quoted Nigel Taylor, an associate professor at the University of Wollongong, as writing in a report that has been published by journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise.

Working out in the heat often causes dangerous overheating amongst sportspersons, miners, and soldiers. Once a person''s core temperature reaches 39.5°C to 40.5°C they get hyperthermia.
