Best Answer

You get heat stroke because your body overheats and can't take it. Either because it is weak or old.

Dehydration or lack of body salts .

***Heat stroke is simply a body temperature above 40 degC. It typically happens when the body is in a warm environment and loses the ability to keep the core temp below 40. That can be because of the reasons above. It can also occur as a physiological side effect of many common compounds: booze, caffeine, amphetamines - anything that hampers the body's temperature regulation.

It happens anytime the body's heat production exceeds its ability to cool itself.****

Heatstroke occurs when the body becomes so overheated that its temperature control system loses the ability to function. The person will quit sweating and all other natural attempts at cooling will cease to occur.
