Sigh, it appears that every time we have some sort of strange weather crisis around here, people seem to want to act in the worst way possible instead of looking at the dangers that are present. I guess it's up to me to remedy that

Wow, that does sound serious.

[snackoo_katonk]

I'm a scientist. Everything I say is serious.

A scientist, huh? That's like an alchemist, right?

...I suppose so, in a way.

Hypothetically, if someone had rapid cellular regeneration and almost instantly recovered from any kind of injury, would they even be able to be sunburned?

[snackoo_katonk]

Yes, because that is a healing ability, not some sort of prevention. If someone stabbed this hypothetical someone with a knife, they would still be stabbed, it just wouldn't have any lasting effects. Why?

[evolvedtoomuch]

Because I love hypothetical questions.

If you are going to lie, is it too much to ask that you at least pretend to try to make them believable?

Do you have any other tips? I only remember so much from Phys-Ed... And also, what would all those temperatures be (from the Heat Exhaustion/Stroke description) in Fahrenheit?

[snackoo_katonk]

Well, if you must go out in the sun I recommend a wide brimmed hat and light clothes that cover your body. Finding some way of keeping the air moving in any given room would also be a good idea as it would cool your sweat and thus help lower your core temperature.

As for the conversion of temperatures: heat exhaustion can set in for some individuals at the mid 80sF but is almost a sure bet at any heat over 113F. It's dangerous for a human to have a temperature above 107F.

Thanks for the tips, and conversions! This has given me a few ideas to "beat the heat", so I'm off to try 'em out now. Later!

Good luck!
