    Thanks :) Using an electric fan right now. The main problem is that we have 80% or more humidity so the water based steps are not really working. Even sweat isn’t evaporating.

      Since you have an electric fan I’m hoping you have electricity. If you can get ahold of some ice or cold items you can use it to cool major blood vessels and the cooled blood travels through your body. Like a radiator. A few weeks ago I was eating hot food outside in the hot humid heat (Florida) and squeezing a plastic cup of ice water between my wrists at the table was a huge relief.

        Unfortunately my fridge is the only source of ice and it stops working when power goes out. The fans are low power and can be run from DC easily. Ideally I would have cold packs or something stocked up but our fridge is choke full of actual food.
