Summer is in full bloom. Energy to run the AC has become scarce as heat waves spread through much of the U.S. There are many things you can do to cool off if your Lexington home is without an AC.
Keep something frozen in your hand for as long as you can . This can cool your body by as much as 3 degrees Fahrenheit and will last for more than an hour. If it starts to hurt, stop. Even if you are not thirsty, drink lots of H2O. All of the fluids depleted from perspiration have to be made up somewhere. If you must go outside, cover up with airy, loose-fitting clothing, but if you can, avoid direct sunlight.
Turn off all the lights and all other heat sources, like the computer. Get your hair wet by taking a cool shower or bath. Place a wet towel behind your neck, on your forehead, on the inside of your wrists and elbows, and on the backs of your knees. These points will naturally cool the rest of your body down.
Go to the movies, mall, or other air-conditioned spot if all else fails. People have lived for thousands of years without AC. Roughing it for a few days should not be that difficult.
