Joey Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 If only it were true, Paul was home with heat stroke today after working outside in this for the last few days. He was in bad shape. Finally coming around now. Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally coming around now. Joey Joey, I hope Paul gets over this real quick. Heat stroke can sneak up on you...and with this weather, its a pretty common occurrence.I don't miss working on commercial rooftops one bit! Make sure he gets lots of fluids!

wallyboss Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 We need to stay hydrated. And ice cold water is not really the way to do it. It's a hell of a shock to the body. I worked outside for 22 years and I've found that a water jug of cold water just from the tap is much better than ice cold water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybo Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) Yes be careful out there boys and girls it's hot. I been working on heavy equipment for 28 years 96% of the time outside. This is the first time the heat has hit me this bad. It didn't help that I was steaming a unit on Tuesday.Raised the humidex up another 15 degrees. Brian, Thanks for your concern.
