The last thing you want to do is play a long gig on a hot night, pass out, and wind up in a hospital emergency room.
I suffer from overheating quite easily.
Being from Louisiana, I'm very familiar with the heat and what it can do to you if you don't take care of your body.
Being out in that heat for two weeks definitely drains your energy.
You know what you are getting into, but being out in that heat for two weeks definitely drains your energy.
I drink lots of water - being under hot lamps all day is very dehydrating.
I try to run on the hottest days, at the hottest time, because that's the most difficult time. And sometimes I worry about drying out, and dying.
I never understood that if you sweat as much as I used to every night, you drain your body of salts. So I got very, very, seriously ill. I got to the stage where I was almost hospitalized with serious problems.
