What symptom is NOT a sign of heat stroke?

  1. Profuse sweating

  2. Dizziness, confusion, or hallucinations

  3. Unconsciousness or coma

  4. Flush, hot skin

The correct answer is: Profuse sweating

Profuse sweating is not a symptom of heat stroke. Heat stroke is a serious condition that occurs when the body overheats and is unable to regulate its temperature. This can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, unconsciousness or coma, and flush and hot skin. While sweating is a common response to heat, in cases of heat stroke, the body is unable to sweat enough to cool down. This is why profuse sweating is not a sign of heat stroke and is considered incorrect in this question.
