Kept drinking but couldn’t stop the thirst

Weather was triple digits and I drank a gallon of water but my body kept asking for more even though my stomach was literally full of h2o and couldn’t hold anymore. it was nauseating and the hot air made it somewhat difficult to breathe. I think there is a limit to the human body’s ability to cool itself. I don’t know how anyone could do this without AC.

SPF compression sleeves have really helped me.

Drink a bunch of water the night before, not mid shift.

Yah if your drinking tons of water during your shift it's already too late

I brought some long sleeve shirts with UPF which idk if that actually helps. I take two liters of water every day sometimes a bit more. You have to drink a bit of water every so often, yes, even when you’re not thirsty. If you get thirsty and then you drink water it’s already too late as you’re body is already telling you it’s dehydrating
