All over the internet you can find things to keep cool........they have
something sold called a Misty Mate they will mist water of you. I use the old
trusty small spray bottle 3/4 filled with water, when I over heat, just spray
your head and your golden. Always wear a hat and sunglasses as well, avoid
prolonged direct sun. Quads kinda heat up in sun and at that point where you
are over exerted its very hard to cool down. Stay in the shaded areas and use
water to cool down every 20 mins, treat yourself like a radiator.

First, thanks to all of you. I have learned so much I didn't know since
joining the loop. Second, both my husband and myself have medical conditions.
We are on prescription medications. In the job he has just started he has to
drive himself all over the state unlike his previous job where there was always
an investigator with him. Also, we aren't getting any younger. We know it is
possible that a situation might arise for either one of us where we have to
call for an ambulance but might not be able to communicate what is the
immediate concern, our medical histories, and what prescription drugs we are
on. I know there are companies in the US that make a variety of products for
this purpose. I have seen an ad for Road ID. We tried medic alert bracelets for
just basic information, but they just don't hold up over time (but for that
matter, neither have we:-)). I am looking for recommendations of
products/services in the US for something we can carry with us to communicate
necessary information. Third, before my injury, I sweated like a pig. Since the
injury unless I'm about to go into autonomic dysreflexia, I don't sweat. I live
in a hot, humid Southern state in the US. I am looking for recommendations on
gear I can buy to keep me cool. I have a baseball cap that holds water in it,
but it's not enough. Please advise. Thanks. Carolyn
