/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

To those of you looking for an easy way to cool down this weekend while wearing your costumes, this image shows the spots where your arteries run close to your skin. Applying anything cold to these places (ie a cold water bottle, wet washcloth, running faucet water etc) will help cool you down significantly, making hot event rooms and backstage areas way more comfortable to deal with.
Also if you feel yourself getting hotter but are no longer sweating, this means you are dehydrated and/or overheated to the point where you are risking fainting. Sit down in the shade, use the mentioned cool down technique, and slowly drink some (luke warm) water until you feel better. It also never hurts to visit the EHBO post if this happens as they (hopefully) had proper training and can help you. After all, it's what they are there for.

Not sure if anyone was interested in this by the way, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to post this as it will be 32°C tomorrow and Saturday.
