Yeh, I used to regularly fish in a small open aluminum boat on open water from sunrise to sunset under a HOT GLARING/REFLECTING SUN and high temperatures ... bare head, bare skin, no eye protection ... and I often ended up VERY sick and almost completely disoriented.
I did drink plenty of BEER ... and that didn't really help.
I also never sought medical attention, but I WAS later informed about the serious dangers and real consequences of heat/sun stroke- and have since, always taken precautionary measures to protect my head, eyes, and all the rest, from over-exposure.
The last sun-burn I have even since had was, ONE TIME going out fishing with my cap, shades, long sleeves and long pants legs ... but NO shoes (bare-foot). I didn't think THAT would hurt ... but it sure DID.

Cold water also takes longer to Hydrate you. Your body has to bring the temp up to close to your body temperature in order to absorb it.

Kinda a side issue with the heat is taking care of your hide. I've been wearin' one of these at work lately. Skin cancer isn't a kind screw. Killed my grandpa and almost got my mom.

take salt tabs, what your calling heat stroke is more likely heat exahstion, with possible some dehydration thrown in BTW just drinking fluids will not keep away dehydration the lack of salt in your system is also a factor. Next time you start feeling sick take a salt tab see if it helps.

Just spent an hour and a half meeting my Kairos committee by teleconference. One of the participants lives in California. She said it was 6:30 pm there and still 106 degrees! Penny

Yea, were havin to do the whole kit an kaboodle. Steel toe boots,saftey vests,saftey glasses,hardhats, condoms, etc etc.
Do you know how hard it is to trowel out the lil highs an lows in a sidewalk when you got these goofy glasses that are fogged up. We finnally convinced the saftey guy that we didnt need the glasses to trowel mud.

Penny It's a little after 9PM now and it's 95 outside. Makes me wish I was still living at home so I could take a long night time swim. Perfect night time weather too.

We got 1 1/2 hours from time the mud is batched until we have to send it back. According to the state (state job) Goona leave us with about 30 mins per truck. And we cant add more n a few gallons o water to it either.
No tie-ins but a bunch of short runs.
We will be fine, but were goona be whipped.
I cannot believe you hi-jacked this thread, Sam

As far as I know they do not keep records of work place accidents the are caused by heat emergencies, Things like SamOlson bud taking a chute to the head or people that fall of latters, trips and falls, stepping out infront of Heavy equpment ect.. I will say to stay away from the salt pills and use sport drinks they are desined to replace what your body needs. You should have to pass liquid at least once evey 4 hours and if it dark yellow you still need more liquid. Stay away from caffein. Coffee, Tea, soda pop. also stay away from alcohol, if you do drink have 3 glasses of water for every drink contaning alcohol
If you cann't stand my spelling use the ingore feature.

Have fun tomorrow Bogger. We have 25 yards at 7:30 when it's nice and cool. Of course the machine seals it up pretty well anyway.
Safety first!

Use a camelback, wear a soaking wet handkerchief around your neck, pound the liquids, eat right even when you don't feel like it, and sign your organ donor card. It sounds like you're already prone to heat injury due to physiology and your previous bouts with it. Every time you get heat exhaustion, you're more susceptible to it the next time. I.e. every time the heat makes you feel like crap, you'll feel like crap sooner next time. And heat stroke is a whole new level of jacked up worse than heat exhaustion. It's way more than not feeling right, full-on heat stroke is not too many steps away from dead.
Keep it up and eventually you'll barely be able to take the heat at all. The whole "I'm young and bulletproof" thing doesn't last very long.
