Excerpt from Thermometer Pills
Tracy Wilson
Over the past ten years more than two dozen athletes have died from the medical condition known as heatstroke. Heatstroke
occurs when the body's internal temperature becomes so elevated that its cooling system begins shutting down. Who is most at
risk? Surprisingly, it is younger athletes. They often either do not recognize or ignore the warning signs until it's too late. To
make matters worse, children's bodies are much less efficient than adults at cooling themselves. A promising new product hopes
to end the all too common heatstroke trend. It is called a thermometer pill.
