Heatwaves and neuroleptic drugs a dangerous combo!
If you take these kinds of medicines called neurolepttics or anti-psychotics and it's hot outside BE careful..Heat could really hurt you!

Warning: The combination of a heat wave and laws requiring people to take powerful psychiatric drugs in their own homes on an "outpatient basis" can kill. Mainstream media are not adequately warning the public. Neuroleptics, also known as "antipsychotics," can suppress the ability of the body to adjust to heat.

1. Well, I don 't have to worry about that one
Last summer I had a job that required me to do strenuous labor outdoors. I was out in Arizona one time in 109 degree heat undecking trucks and I didn't kick the bucket. For about 4 hours there I wished I was dead, though. That was a horrible job. I'm glad I don't do that anymore.

2. I don't believe it's an accident
that this is not well-promoted information.
