the symptoms of heat exhaustion:

* heavy sweating
* paleness
* muscle cramps
* tiredness
* weakness
* dizziness

* headache
* nausea or vomiting
* fainting

well, that was pleasant.

admittedly, it's my own fault, as apparently it's caused by an electrolyte imbalance and i'd spent all day running around in the heat filling myself with sugar and not much else.

The vomiting is bad but to be honest I'd expect the rest from LARPing in lots of heat. On seeing how much water we got through I seriously think we would happily have worked with twice as much so may try to bring some along next time.

Certainly if I hadn't gone to lengths to rehydrate myself sufficiently I'd expect weakness, dizziness and possibly paleness. Muscle cramps and tiredness sound like a regulare larp after effect. So yeah. Vomitting is bad but the rest is quite normal. If you can call it normal.. :)
