You've got your Heat Stroke and your Heat Exhaustion and they have different symptoms. According to The Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine:
Heat Stroke;
Hot, dry skin
Constricted pupils!
Body temperature in the very high neighborhood
Heat Exhaustion;
Clammy skin
Dilated pupils!
Normal to low body temperature
How can the same condition (heat) cause completely contrasting sets of symptoms? I'm stumped! But even I can tell you to keep your perfectly normal pupils peeled for the nasty effects of 97 degree weather. Yikes.
