Posted by tree7737 @tree7737, 5 days ago

Has any with ET, Jak2 found that Hydroxy Urea exacerbates a tendency to experience heat exhaustion when hiking in warm, humid conditions??

@christina3444 I only visited Phoenix once, in 1978, and went out to get a bite to eat around midnight. I saw a bank clock that said it was 104 at midnight....in September. I'm from Oklahoma, originally, where I've seen temps as high as 115 in Oklahoma City, but not in the middle of the night!

@garyr443 Yes, it is special! I lived in Ft. Smith for a few years so I know a little about OK. The humidity there just about killed me.

@christina3444 Yep, the humidity in Oklahoma is horrible! I live in Seattle now and, while a lot of people here whine about 70 degrees being "hot," I love it here! As I drove up here through Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Oregon and Washington, I noticed it was getting cooler as I travelled. It had been 104 in Oklahoma City when I left.

Michigan here. We're used to summer humidity, but heat over 85 has always brought me down and affects my mood. Last week was in 90s, under the heat dome like everybody else in the Midwest. Very miserable and draining. Fortunate enough to exchange window AC with central air when I retired. It doesn't run more than a couple weeks per year because house has a lot of shade, but it saves a lot of misery when it does. Hugs to fellow heat sufferers.

@nohrt4me it kept limiting me when I was in FL for 6 months, as expected; but I was gob smacked when it brought me down here in the mountains of NC and recovery took allergy afternoon. Now we are camping across the midwest and into Canada in a heatwave, so I know not to overdo the hiking and hydrate!
