1. I don’t cook inside my house when it’s hot. 2. I minimize my intake of hot food. I eat loads of salads and fruit during the summer. 3. I wash and rinse my hands with cool water. 4. As soon as the outside temperature is cooler than it is inside, I open my windows. 5. For those who sometimes don’t have adequate indoor cooling, I suggest soaking a shirt in cool water, wringing it out to the point where it doesn’t quite drip, and wearing it. 6. In the summer of 2006, we had about 3 straight weeks of 100º+ F temps. During that spell I was storing tank tops in my freezer and wearing them.
