I though maybe this deserves a post of its own after MRFez's post on sheds

I have no solutions for the heat in the shed but we all should look after ourselves through summer & stay hydrated.

Most of us are not young, are pretty stubborn, love to tinker in the shed, & some of us have pre-existing medical conditions so we are high risk candidates.

Heat stress can sneak up on you. Unfortunately it may have already put you into a hazardous situation while operating the lathe & other machinery before you realize what is happening. If the heat stress becomes serious and progresses to heat stroke then you have a serious medical emergency on your hands.
