Ever had a sunstroke? When I was like 13 I did. It was a hot day. Suddenly all I could see was...

Myself no. But a good friend did in middle school. We were walking around talking outside and then he started babbling incoherently like he had a stroke and went face first into the grass.

He was rushed to hospital and ended up ok.

It is scary especially if it's the first time @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow

@Asmae Was scary to witness. Hearing him suddenly babbling nonsense, his eyes rolled up into his head and he just fell face first.

I'm glad he was ok @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow

I've had heat stroke bfore, when I was a teenager I was on a class trip, I was telling one of the people in charge I was feeling very drunk and showing them I could not walk in a stright line lol

What happened next? @maturedragon

maturedragon · 26-30, M

@Asmaewell good thing it was at the end of the day and we were just starting the campfire night, they gave me a lot of salt water to drink and was told just to go sleep

Asmae · 31-35, F

For me they took me to the shade and gave me some water & juice. I started to feel better quick @maturedragon

I think what I had happen to me as a child was heat exhaustion. Not sure I blacked out but I spent many hours vomiting, and swinging between feeling very hot and bone chilling cold. I was one miserable kid there for a bit. Scared my parents pretty good too I think. 🤷‍♀️

Asmae · 31-35, F

It's more common among kids & teens I reckon @SlaveEt

Not yet. I kinda get acclimated. I go out even in 35c temps with a light jacket and jeans bc I don't want sun on me at all. Got tanned heavily once, never again

Asmae · 31-35, F

Haha tanning is not a bad thing at all
Normally I like the sun 😇
In summer I witnessed days where it was 47-48°C but in such conditions if I have to be outside I try to stick to the shade as much as possible

deadgerbil · 22-25, M

@Asmae do you ever use tanning beds?

Asmae · 31-35, F

I don't need to 😅
I'm naturally tan and the sun here does the job @deadgerbil

ButterRobot · 51-55, M

Yes - it led to one of the worst nights of my life. I still remember it 30 years on.

ButterRobot · 51-55, M

@Asmae yeah...and went to school the next day lol.

Asmae · 31-35, F

Haha what a champ @ButterRobot

SlaveEt · 31-35, F

@ButterRobot
Yep me too. And the leg/body cramps were something else too! I had forgotten about those, lol.

I came extremely close one time I've been out dehydrated get home my body wouldn't regulate its temperature I was shivering but it wasn't cold I was sweating but I wasn't hot. I held my daughter close until my body temperature matched hers.

Yes. A few years ago. I was dehydrated and watching a girls' soccer game on a hoy sunny day (unusual for where I live).

My speech started slurring, and I was getting dizzy.
