I saw a short of a marathon in extreme heat. The runners got spray with water to cool them down. Does this replace the effect of sweating?
In: Biology
In extreme dry heat you can actually run into the problem of people not being able to sweat enough to cool down.
You can only sweat about a gallon of water an hour, so if that’s not providing enough cooling then supplementing it with additional water sprayed on your skin can help prevent heat stroke.
