[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 420610, member: 4362"] Sounds more like your sugar got out of whack from sweating too much. As explained to me by my wife who is an RN, there are two things you need to be careful of. Heat stroke and your sugar getting out of whack from the heat and perspiration. With heat stroke, you will quit sweating and will get cold shivers. You will also cramp and feel clammy. The other thing is your sugar level which can get out of whack by sweating too much. When this happens, you get dizzy, lose color and feel clammy but you will also sweat profusely. Both of these are dangerous and can disable you in the field but both are readily prevented by staying hydrated and keeping some candy or something with you. I was pushing myself today and was on an open cab tractor and the heat coupled with the heat from the motor almost got me.(bear caught is what we call it) I kept seeing dark clouds coming my way and kept thinking I'll fill up with some ice water on the next trip but kept delaying it until it got me. When I finally got to the water jug I was shivering cold and had quit sweeting completely. I felt like $hi7 and felt stifled. I sat in the shade and drank about a quart of water then hopped back on the firey beast. The stupid thing about it, I knew it was getting to me. I had all the signs but just kept going. My wife gets on me about this. Says I'm hard headed and stubborn. [/QUOTE]
