Place a Wet Washcloth on Neck To Stay Cool

We also live in south Florida and this tip has probably saved our lives as we've been doing it for years now. I have some of the "less expensive" bath towels which are quite thin. Wetting them in ice water and wrapping them around the neck keeps the blood flowing to the brain a lot cooler and may even stop a person from having a heat stroke or
suffering from heat exhaustion. If your car's air-conditioning goes bye-bye, it'll make a long trip so much more comfortable to have that nice cool towel to wrap around your neck, wipe your face and generally keep you refreshed. We found that out this very summer.

A walk on the beach can be made even better if you have a cool wet towel around your neck. If it warms up, just shake it in the air for a few flips, and it'll cool off again enough to keep you happy.

Isn't this list just the greatest for sharing everything. I read every word of mine every day, and have learned so much.

Stay Cool Everyone.

Have one here, too! Will also throw a dampened and wrung-out, clean hand towel or washcloth into a freezer bag, let it sit overnight so I have a frosty one in the morning.

We live in South Florida so it's pretty much an everyday thing here, and they defrost quickly.

I'll keep a couple of these in the freezer as they're also great for bringing fevers down or as cold compresses for sprains and other minor injuries ( instead of buying the pricier ones at the drugstore).

Hello Sharon,
I had a good giggle from your post because I am wearing one now. I own a boarding facility in Turkey where the temperature is 104. If I don't have my towel; I am useless. Thank heavens for menapause. Love and Peace, Sharon
