While relaxing and reading, two young ladies (well, in their 20's), began a stimulating conversations about how hot it was outside. The following conversation happened between the hours of 10:00 - 11:oo on Satursday, June 19th.
(Boston.com picture by David L.Ryan)"It is so hot out."
"I know. I get heat stroke all the time."
"Me too. Almost every time, when it's hot out. It's so bad."
"I know. Me too.
Ladies, if you are out there:
"Heat stroke is a form of hyperthermia, an abnormally elevated body temperature with accompanying physical and neurological symptoms. Unlike heat cramps and heat exhaustion, two forms of hyperthermia that are less severe, heat stroke is a true medical emergency that can be fatal if not properly and promptly treated." -Medicine.net
Upon second thought, maybe they have experienced the neurological part of heat stroke.
