What the parent poster just described is a very serious and real affliction that is capable of extinguishing human life. Believe it or not.
I love being outdoors, but I am very careful in conditions like we’ve had recently with 100+ temperatures and high humidity. Even fit persons can get heat stroke very easily. The UV index has also been incredibly high lately, I have to soak sunscreen on or I burn and my skin type is normally easily tans rarely burns.
