Your legs get wobbly, you get a headache, nausea; when really bad, you see
things that aren't there and can black out, in which case you need help or
you may not survive. Solution: plenty of water (before you are thirsty), pace
yourself; take pediatric electrolyte. Some sports drinks are supposed to have
electrolyte replacements, but pediatric formulations are more concentrated.
Because of the heat here in South Carolina, I sometimes do get sick and
for this reason do not have string or zipper veils. My wife makes my veils of
black tulle, and uses a strip of elastic to keep them closed at the neck.
This means they can come off quickly when needed. (Throwing up thru a veil is
NOT fun!) They also cost only a couple bucks each.
