Know your limitations, I've worked in the heat and when I was a lobby manager there were days MERCY ME, I did it but was glad when I got home to sit a few then get up and cut the grass. I guess epilepsy is not a limitation for me, I tell it who is boss but then again I know when to hold them and fold them.

Like everyone is saying drink more water, don’t drink soda Coke or Pepsi etc. that just has sugar in it that does not help. Stay out of the sun, if possible turn on an air conditioner to stay cool. Wear light clothing, t-shirts, shorts etc. If it is possible go into a pool πŸŠβ€β™€οΈ. Bring a second person with you if you go swimming. Take a cool shower 🚿, and put cold wet towels on top of Yourself. Stay cool πŸ†’.
