Thanks. I needed that. Not even sure what part, but was starting to get lost in my head so stopped in for a tune, or remembrances of seasons now past (winter, because of the heat, and NFL & NHL due to calamities). Maybe just feeling old before my time, lately.
Maybe the answer is "both" but what's up with 102 in Brownsville? That the age of Uncle Jim or the threatening temperature? My first guess was age. Dunno.
And you talkin' heatstroke at 16? I thought that was the right term but I've been in a habit of googling things to pretend not to look stupid. The following shit might be useful, especially for those, like myself, stuck in the humidity prison of these so-called Great Lakes.
Now I'm feeling old, again. I know I've done hard work, out in the heat, but it seems to be from so long ago that the memories are now torn and frayed.
Keep on keepin' on.

me: what causes people to collapse working out in the heat?
AI Overview
People may collapse while working out in the heat due to a combination of factors, including dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke. These conditions arise when the body's cooling mechanisms are overwhelmed by excessive heat and physical exertion, leading to a dangerous rise in body temperature.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Dehydration:
- During exercise, especially in the heat, the body loses fluids through sweat.
- If fluid intake doesn't replace these losses, dehydration can occur.
- Dehydration impairs the body's ability to regulate temperature, making it harder to cool down.
- Heat exhaustion develops when the body can't dissipate heat effectively, leading to a significant rise in body temperature.
- It's characterized by symptoms like heavy sweating, cold and clammy skin, nausea, and vomiting.
- If not addressed, heat exhaustion can progress to heatstroke.
- Heatstroke is a severe and potentially fatal condition where the body temperature rises above 104°F (40°C).
- The body's cooling system completely fails, and the person may lose consciousness.
- Symptoms can include confusion, seizures, and loss of consciousness.
- Exercising in hot, humid environments:
Humid air makes it harder for sweat to evaporate, hindering the body's cooling process.
- Lack of acclimatization:
People who are not used to exercising in the heat are more susceptible to heat-related illnesses.
- Underlying health conditions:
Certain medical conditions, like diabetes, can increase the risk of heat-related complications.
- Medications:
Some medications can affect the body's ability to regulate temperature.
- Low blood pressure:
A drop in blood pressure, especially after exercise, can cause dizziness or fainting.
- Low blood sugar:
In some cases, exercise in the heat can lead to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
