Millinery for the poor folk

[Wickedvox]

Sounds like we've got a few medical scholars around here! Merlin is right, anywhere that is a pulse point is a good area to cool--surface veins and arteries cool more quickly reducing temperature more efficiently. REI sells a cooling bandana you can dip in cool water once and it remains cool for up to 4 hours (If I remember correctly).

WalMart also has the bandana looking coolies, that have the crystals in them that you can soak for awhile in cold water, and they work for several hours. they are also, as I understand it, not terribly hard to make. One of my friends has some that look like small snakes... I try to keep a supply in my cooler at the shoppe (in a ziploc baggie, because if they absorb too much water, the crystals keep expanding and the gel starts to ooze between the weave), just in case I get overly warm.
