Can you buy IV bags at Walgreens?


You wouldn't know how to use one if you had one, and you'd need a saline solution with distilled water to make one on your own.

Cool down by misting hose water over your head while you are sitting down. Drink room temperature fluids - the ones enriched with electrolytes as already mentioned.

Put a cool rag on the back of your neck.

Best thing to do is hydrate big time before exerting yourself in the heat.

Once you monkey just one time, your body's thermostat will reset itself and you'll be more prone to it the rest of your life.

I've seen men monkey ... it's scary stuff and it can happen in a heartbeat.

It happened to my husband about 10 years ago, and we had to make a trip to the hospital. And yes, he has been much more prone to overheating since.
