This morning I needed to get to from Point A to Point B, and I felt like walking.\u00a0 Never mind the headline, \u201cBoiling Heat Refuses to Simmer.\u201d\u00a0 So what if the temperature is going to hit 100.<\/p>\n
As I walked, I thought of Eric Northman, the fictional character from the TV show True Blood.\u00a0 Eric is a Vampire.\u00a0 As we all know, sunlight destroys vampires, unless of course they have sucked a Fairy dry.<\/p>\n
Last episode, Eric sucked Sookie\u2019s Fairy Godmother dry!\u00a0 Filled up and high on fairy blood, he headed outdoors.\u00a0 Standing in full sunlight he reveled in the ecstasy of the heat and the daylight.<\/p>\n
As all good things must come to an end, so did the effects of the Fairy Blood.\u00a0 Eric began to blister, burn and sizzle.\u00a0 He had to hightail it out of the sun, and get back to his underground lightless dungeon.<\/p>\n
I lasted a good eight blocks, before I started to overheat.\u00a0 Similar to Eric\u2019s experience, once the heat started to take hold, I went from fine to fried in less than one quick second.\u00a0\u00a0 I ducked into a market, re-hydrated, cooled down and then, took a fast and air-conditioned taxi home!\u00a0 (Praise Be for New York City Taxis)<\/p>\n
On these hot and humid days of summer, you may feel fine and be actually enjoying the extreme heat, but beware, because both heat exhaustion and heatstroke can sneak up on you, come on fast and knock you over and out!<\/p>\n
