it's too hot

We were doing some work out in the swamp today and we got into an area surrounded by levees. There was no breeze and the sun was beating down. I was hacking down reeds with the machete and wading in thick mud and flouton swamp. I sweat until my shirt was completely soaked. About 10 minutes later, the sky got overcast and the temperature outside

That happened to me on San Sal. Someone had gotten hurt and I was the person that knew about it so I did this ten minute trip of scrambling over the rocks, climbing up about 10 feet to the top of a cliff where everyone was, then climbing down about 4 times, and I'd given the person that was hurt my water cause I'd been drinking plenty of water and I felt fine...

then just as I got to the top of the cliff and stood up I passed right out, but just onto plants so thick I didn't hit the ground. I remember thinking, oh? what's happening? and then out.

something similar happened to me the other day! i was driving, and i began feeling utterly miserable, dizzy, and a bit of headache. i made it back to the office and drank more water than i ever have. i didn't feel wholly better til the next day, though.

yeah, I'm still pretty light-headed, but the dizzyness was gone after 2 hours or so

take care of yourself, my man!

Daddy worked his whole life in the MS heat. He says you gotta take breaks and you gotta periodically hydrate. And I personally hope you have sun protection.
