Heatstroke is a life-threatening condition that happens when your body temperature rises above 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). It’s usually the result of overexertion in hot, humid conditions. Symptoms can include confusion, seizures or loss of consciousness. Untreated, heatstroke can lead to organ failure, a coma or death.

WHAT.... Not a single mention of “catastrophic man made global inferno boiling warming?”

Someone at the clinic better pack their bags.

Brutal. In Tyler we had 83 days over 100. 26 days over 105.

Exactly, you can buy that stuff that looks like kool aid and mix it in water. Kids version is pedialyte.

It replaces those electrolytes and doesn’t taste awful like Gatorade.

Unbelievably, it was 100.5 degrees today in Baltimore. I didn’t stir outdoors for a moment. No need for it.

Never drink a lot of water unless you also take in some salt to replenish yours lost in sweat.

Drinking too much water will literally kill you...............

This time of year is tough for me (50-something woman). I am outside 6-7 hours a day. I have to get most of my strenuous chores done between sunrise and 10 (or when temps reach the 80s), and the rest late afternoon. I always wear a lightweight hat in the sun, it really helps.

One tip that I learned from my son’s baseball coach - drink a lot of water hours before you exert yourself, and sip on electrolyte drink while working (or in his case games/practices). I eat a tablespoon of peanut butter with half a banana before I work, but nothing heavy. I eat a bigger meal late morning/lunch.

The second I start pouring sweat, I stop what I’m doing and rinse my head in cool water and head inside and drink electrolytes right away. That is not a time to push through.
