Cool Solutions . . .
During the summer I have had consumers contact me who are experiencing heat exhaustion working inside or out.

The following solutions can be beneficial for individuals who experience Multiple Sclerosis, brain injury, or other diagnosis where heat exacerbates their medical condition. Contact Pam if you have any questions.

One affordable solution is a neck fan. I purchased one for myself to see how it works. It is amazing!

  • Hands free-design combines the traditional neck fan and a headset
  • Rechargeable
  • Use at work, office sports, travel, etc.
  • 3 speed adjustable, energy-saving and efficient
  • Comfortable, weighs 7.8 ounces
  • Available from GAIATOP or Amazon, price ranges from $21-$30

Another solution is a washable cooling vest. The body is kept cool by removable gel inserts. The inserts are rechargeable and last for 2-3 hours. .
