To those in cooler climates, please be aware that just drinking water will NOT prevent heat exhaustion (or as my grandfather called it "heat prostration").

You have to keep the required minerals of potassium and sodium in your body that you sweat out.

There are plenty of ways to replinish the minerals, but you have to do it or it can and has been fatal.

If you do go down with heat exhaustion it takes several days to recover.

Please be careful in the heat, there are too few good people out there to lose a single one.
