    Essentially, your body cools you down by sweating, but if you reach a combination of sweat and heat above a certain degree, your body is unable to cool you down by sweating, as the air already has enough moisture and its hotter than your sweat.

    Then you lose the ability to regulate your heat and you rapidly head towards a heat stroke.
