Robbie and Laura Reynolds said:This is my introduction to your board. I'm looking for some suggestions
as to how to increase my sweat production. I suffer miserably from heat
exhaustion. I have not always had this problem. I can remember times
when I sweated all over, but now I just sweat from my head/face and a
little on my torso. I hope that this is the place to go for some
advice. I really need it.

Check the supplements you are taking for sweat inhibiting
properties, and diuretic effects. Make sure you get and stay
hydrated.
Overweight persons, and out of condition persons (thin or fat),
are less heat tolerant than physically fit persons, so losing
weaight and increasing muscle fitness would help, but even the
Marines stop physical training when it gets too hot.
And if you have ever had heat exhaustion or heat stroke you can
remain heat intolerant for a long time.

heat index calculator ... note thathumid spots, like yours, are
highre "heat index" than dry spots like mine. I can be
comfortable in the shade at 105 and 5% humidity ... at 30%
humidity I go inside.

# 80 to 90 degree heat index value - Fatigue is possible with
prolonged exposure and/or physical activity.
# 90 to 105 degree heat index value - Sunstroke, heat cramps, and
heat exhaustion are possible with prolonged exposure and/or
physical activity.
# 105 to 130 degree heat index value - Sunstroke, heat cramps, or
heat exhaustion are likely, and heatstroke is possible with
prolonged exposure and/or physical activity.
# 130 degree and higher heat index value - Heatstroke/sunstroke
is highly likely with continued exposure.
