Is it hot enough for you? Hahahaha no, but seriously, how hot is too hot before we die?
Amid another sizzling summer for much of North America, tens of millions of people must cope with extreme temperatures, deadly wildfires and sweaty underpants, like, all the time.
Don’t worry, medical science has answers to all our questions! Except, obviously, questions about knee replacement surgery wait times in British Columbia. The issue is that our planet and our underwear can only take so much heat from the sun because the human body only functions within a pretty narrow temperature range, above or below which — there’s no way to sugarcoat this — you die.
If an animal maintains its body temperature at a constant level, say by shivering when it’s cold outside, or sweating when it’s hot outside, it is called “homeothermic.” • Drink cool liquids. Yes, of course I mean beer, which is not true but doesn’t make this medical advice any less gooder. Excuse me, my shoes are too tight. The point is, any cool liquid aside from alcohol and gasoline helps reduce body temperature from the inside out. Cheers!
• Go jump in a lake. Obviously not Beaver Lake in Saanich, currently chockablock with deadly blue-green algae which – according to the posted signs — produce cyanotoxins. That sounds bad. I would look up exactly how bad, but I have already seen and smelled Beaver Lake. No thank you.
