This is an important subject, because heat is an issue for children, the elderly, and those on certain drugs, including certain psychotropic drugs. There are times that our city opens up cooling shelters when the heat index gets too high. This is useful, but often those who need them most do not have a way to get there. I can remember calling some of my clients who were taking anti-convulsants and/or anti-psychotics on days when the heat index reached a certain level to remind them to drink plenty of fluids, stay out of the heat, and try to get to a cooling shelter if possible.

Great topic! I'm a big fan of the cool shower or bath, but when I visit FL, I can't get the water cool enough, unfortunately.
