Well, I do know that long before

the thought of MS ever entered the picture.. and before Earl was

born.. I'd have to really really really scrub my hair when I'd

get home from a day at the racetrack (I could have had spiked

hair everywhere, without the use of any gels).. I would take the

garden sprayer container that we used for cooling the radiator

in the car between runs.. and soak my head till I was dripping..

and as soon as the hair would start to dry, I'd soak it down

again.. I got through the day fairly cool, not matter what the

temps were on the asphalt.. Wrapped up some ice cubes (the small

ones) in a rag, and placed the rag on Bill's head under his

helmet for when he was making a pass down the track -- Jet Black

car in all that heat with NO windows that open!.. -- he actually

said after the initial shiver when the ice water ran down his

back.. it felt good!.. LOL

Apparently

the Swedish national canoeing team use these too, according to

the MS-nurse. Probably good, I'd think they would lessen the

mobility of the arms somewhat, but if they can keep the paddler

from over-heating it's probably worth it. Or, well, I suppose

since they do use them they do consider them worth it...

The

company making these cooling vests do cooling hats too. I'd be

interested in trying one of those myself, on a really hot day.

I use wet (cold) towels on or around my head on really hot

days, around home, but you can't really were that in public

unless you want to amuse/frighten people you meet... I think

the cooling hat is probably a less silly/strange-looking

alternative...
