Heat Exhaustion vs. Heat Illness

[AllySafety]

Hi thank you for watching! Make sure to keep yourself safe and avoid heat exhaustion to prevent heat stroke this summer!

I was putting shingles on a house today. It was at least 100 degrees on the roof. After several hours i felt like I was going to pass out. My legs started cramping, my back started cramping, my energy completely ran out, and i was having chills and goosebumps. It's been 8 hours since i struggled to climb down the ladder at the end of the day, and im still exhausted. Badly. My heart has been pounding.

Everyone was making fun of me when i was complaining about getting tunnel vision amd goosebumps. My clothes were very dark, but I had nothing brighter to change into. I know it was heat exhaustion. I just don't know how close i was to having a heat stroke. It was bad.

Nice, thank you for the content you bring. If you live with ridiculous summer humidity, and heat, and sun. I am in Florida personally. But don't be in a lack of rest/ sleep. I can say first hand the dizzy part, can actually lead to paranoia, and hallucinations as your body is cooling down and truly ready to call it a night. Drink cold water, and as long as your pee is not going into a dark yellow, clear is properly hydrated. You will be good. Much love to you and all, and thank you again for the content.

It's been a record breaking summer and the past 5 days in a row have been 90 to 100 and I have bee doing manual labor. I have been going through liters of water and if I don't wear a bandana the sweat pours into my eyes. Today it was 98 and my head is just killing me.

Off topic from the video. But have you ever thought of making a video on reporting findings to your upper management?? I’m talking about lab findings, recommendations etc.

Ty I was out side and it was 96 for 3 hours straight and no water and my stomach hurts and I have nausea

[Rattlsnke]

Lmfao. Me here chugging vodka and energy drinks because it’s all I can keep down. This is the closest I’ve come to heat STROKE. It is as, I need to note confusion is something this video left out, but I haven’t had AC in NC summer heat and it’s already lethal for me this year. If I try to drink anything else I vomit. My liver is already messed up and I’m not absorbing/digesting water properly. I just have to switch to bloody diet and caffeine free drinks…idk what I’ve said. I’m dying. It starts happening to me at 80° and when hypothermia would hit some people I am so comfy. I have known thyroid issues…this should mean I am hyper but I know myself enough to say no……..I am hypo with other underlining conditions. Standing I have had to catch myself already collapsing from the heat. But there is no escape. Go to the ER to be …. Long story that is irrelevant, but if they cool me down and hydrate me they will return me to where I am screwed.
