MODERATORS
Wet T-shirt and sitting in front of a fan.
We naturally cool our bodies by sweating.
You can sort of hack that process by getting a t-shirt wet, putting it on, and allowing the moving air to help speed up the evaporation process.
WARNING: NOT FOR USE IN HIGH HUMIDTY.
Adding more water to an already hot and humid situation risks a Wet Bulb.
Aren't you going to catch a cold?
No. A cold is a virus, you won't catch one by cooling yourself.
But, if the virus is already present in your system, cool and wet conditions can lower the effectiveness of your immune system. Tmyk
