Remember football practice during the dog days of August, and the coach
would hand out salt pills at the water jug?

Hi Al,

But don't forget to add plenty of salt to what you are drinking - I

that in Baghdad in 1970 after I had heatstroke. The temperature was only
50, but a few days later when I arrived in Kuwait in a dust storm, it was
54. (sorry, that's 125+ Fahrenheit!)

There's a big difference between digging ditches in 90-130 degree
Fahrenheit (32-54 Celsius) heat, and working in an 85 degree office.
Most people in North America, unless they're doing the former, already
get more salt than their bodies could possibly use constructively.
Myself included.

Even with something as simple as salt, self-medication is a bad thing,
especially if you haven't any guide to dosage.
