Heat Stroke - aka Sunstroke - OldTimer - 06-29-2012 02:42 PM
I got severe heat cramps several years ago while fishing in bright, sunny, 100F weather – it wasn’t fun and actually frightened me at the time – I thought I was having a heart attack due to the pain in my arms. What was worse - I lost a day of fishing.
With all this heat we’ve been having – it pays to know the symptoms of heat stroke and how to prevent getting them.

This next pdf is an Ontario government handout for workers – but has excellent info within it.

I am lucky enough not to have experienced heat stroke yet, but I know other people who have. It's not pretty.
Be careful out there guys!
