    Yes. When I was 13, we moved from Alaska to Texas. En route, we went to Los Angeles on vacation. Standing in line for Universal Studios, I was overcome by heat stroke and passed out. The people at US took very good care of me and when I recovered put our family at the front of the line.

    Since then I am particularly sensitive to getting overheated.

    I spend a lot of time outdoors in hot weather, either recreationally or working, and I really enjoy it. I always drink lots of water, and take breaks from working about every 30 mins. to an hr. either in the shade or indoors where there is air conditioning. Also taking a dip in the pool as frequently keeps your core temperature from getting too high.

    I was very close to it last year. I had labored breathing for over 9 hours before I finally cooled down enough.

    Young and stupid and stayed out in the sun too long trying to get a tan. It's an awful feeling.

    ...but was very close. Hauled wood from 7 am until 3 pm with one break; then went to the field and hauled (square bales) hay until about 8 pm. Was nasty, dirty and stinky and HOT. So I decided to take a cool shower. Next thing you know, I am blind. Not permenant, but my brain has swelled and put pressures on some nerves (something like that). But to this day, I am very light sensitive.

    No, I hope never. On a day like today, I stay out of the sun. If I do go out, I make sure I stay hydrated, wear a hat, dress in a cool outfit and not stay out too long.

    Yes, it was awful.

    I was 17, and had been drinking the night before so I was already dehydrated. The sun had been shining directly into my room and it was around +45c in my room, I woke up to my heart pounding and I felt incredibly hot, like my skin was burning but I wasn't sweating at all, I quickly stood up and realized my vision was completely blurry and my body temperature was rising, I had a friend with me and she realized that something was wrong because I was burning up really badly and I could barely walk or see. My heart was literally racing so fast that I was certain it was going to explode.

    She quickly looked up the symptoms and then commanded me to go take a ice cold shower and lay down there until my body temperature lowers and then we'd head to the near by hospital, the cold shower was torture but it might've saved me. Afterwards I felt like I was freezing but my body was still warm, at the hospital I was given a lot of water and placed into a cool room, shortly after my vision returned to normal and my heart rate lowered too.

    yes, when I made the mistake of going to Six Flags over Texas when it was over 100 degrees. I didn't know it was going to get that hot actually. I haven't been back since actually. Bad memories. lol

    Had it twice, not comfortable at all. I got it while at the beach in what I considered a cloudy day, but it was enough to get me. Amazing to have the chills with a fever.

    Personally I haven't. But my father died from it. People need to be really careful about the heat. You can get to a dangerous degree of heat stroke before you realize it.
