I developed it once on an 84 degree day back when I simply could not tolerate even warm weather safely. But I recovered fine within a few hours and was back to normal the next day.

Hmmm. Compare what Bio-Tech thinks on the issue:

Someone trained in first aid can treat heat stroke
(p. B434) by rapidly cooling the victim (e.g., an ice water
bath) and giving lots of electrolytes (usually by IV at TL7+).
This takes one hour and requires a roll against First Aid+4.
If successful the patient recovers 7 FP and 2 HP (up to the
maximum lost by the subject). Further recovery is as normal.
