Summer is in full bloom. With heat waves circulating across much of the U.S., energy to run the AC has become scarce. If your Lexington home is without AC, there are numerous things you can do to cool off.
Place something frozen in your hand for as long as you can . This will cool down your body for up to an hour and will lower your temperature by as much as 3 degrees F. If it begins to hurt, stop. Drink plenty of H2O, even if you are not thirsty. All of the fluids lost from perspiration have got to be made up somewhere. Wear airy, loose-fitting clothes if you have to go outside, however it's wise to avoid direct sunlight.
Turn off all heat sources such as lights or the TV. Get your hair wet by taking a cool shower or bath. Place a damp 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.
If all else fails, go to the movies, a bookstore, or other air-conditioned place. People have lived for many years without AC. Roughing it for a couple days should not be that difficult.
