a headache brought on from the heat

Take sea salt tablets and potassium. They'll prevent that symptom, as well as: dizzyness, vertigo, fainting, extreme exhaustion, cramps, cold chills, etc.

A nutritionist educated me on this many moons ago, and I've been taking them during hot weather, ever since. Take one sea salt tablet for every 25 pounds of body weight.

You can work outdoors in the heat all day, and never suffer the ill effects of heat sickness, if you try that.

I’ve craved foods with these nutrients and ate them. I try to listen to my body and do what I need to do to balance things out.

I’m a cold climate critter and I’m still adjusting to a hot region.

Where can you get sea salt tablets? Do they have them in grocery stores? I go shooting sometimes in very hot weather, and heat stroke kind of sneaks up on me occasionally, even though I drink lots of water. I hate it when I have to miss a day of shooting because it’s too damned hot. I’d just LOVE it if I could find a “cure” — looks like you’ve got one! And are potassium tablets around, or will eating a banana or two do the trick?
