I do this. It really works.
Once you pamper yourself this way, you may be spoiled.
A fan blowing laterally helps too when the space is clean because the moving air evaporates sweat.[/B]
Not a bad idea, but also remember if you are working in an attic and you stop sweating, that too is a warning sign of heat distress.
Years ago they used Salt-tablets, to replace some important minerals especially potassium, after you sweat for a while you lose a lot of potassium and water will keep you hydrated but will not replace this.
I usually get a fresh bottle of Salt-tablets from the local Pharmacy every year. and follow the instructions.
Works for me.
