2 While it doesn’t look much different than the average vitamin capsule, the work it does inside the body is truly amazing. Once ingested these capsules send an internal body temperature reading to a portable device that is not much bigger than a Palm Pilot. A coach or professional trainer monitors the device during practices or events held when temperatures and heat indexes are particularly high. If an athlete’s body temperature reaches a dangerous level, the monitor immediately transmits an alert. The player is then rushed indoors and placed in an ice bath to rapidly decrease his or her body temperature. This is important, since internal organs can begin shutting down at 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
This article suggests that a person who becomes dangerously overheated faces which danger?
A) scarlet fever
B) severe hypothermia
C) lack of oxygen to the brain
D) organ failure that can lead to death
