    a bit of levity, perhaps?? Us poor schmoos that made our living in places that weren’t air conditioned sympathise with ya. I can remember sweat soaked (yes sweat) Levis sometimes to the knees. Days with this kind of heat and humidity aren’t anything to mess with. Be careful out there people, stay hydrated jerr

    It was just a catchy title to get your attention. He just wanted to remind everyone to be carefull while working outside. It would have been easier to just ignore the post if you didn’t like it.

    I dug an egres window pit at my house a few years back. Thought I was being smart about it and drank lots of water. Ended up getting really dizzy that night and threw up. Took a few days to recover.

    Heat exhaustion? I already had one day recovering from too much sun. That thing will sap the energy from you.

    What some people don’t realize is what/how it can affect you later in life. Even 1 case of extreme heat exhaustion can creep up on you years later. Being in construction for so long, I had my occurrence like so many others. I pushed myself in the heat too much/too long and got sick and vomiting. More than 10 years later and I get less and less tolerant of the heat and sun. Days like today will have me feeling sick to my stomach after just a half hour or so. Be careful and keep your self hydrated!

    When I was in the military in heat category 5 the standard was a quart of water every 15 minutes (more if you weren’t acclimatized to your surroundings). I remember needing to change uniforms 3 times a day. Heat injury can end your life in a hurry. I’ve seen 3 people stop breathing during heat exhaustion. Very scary.
