On my trip two years ago to Pakistan, I ended up in a dangerous situation where i was unable to walk due to dizziness and vomiting from the heat. • Here’s what I wish I would have known about heat: • 1. Just like you acclimatize to altitude, you need to acclimatize to heat. • 2. Heat stress can build day by day. • 3. Heat can make you dizzy or pass out - it’s called heat syncope • 4. Nausea/vomiting is another sign. • We spend so much time preparing for cold and altitude, but we don’t talk enough about how to plan for heat exposure and with rising global temperatures, we need to be prepared! • I highly recommend the GOES health app to guide you https://goes.health - it’s the outdoor safety app for hikers, trail runners and anyone who spends time outside.
