The owners of the kitchen I work in talked about putting in air conditioning a couple of years ago. Still waiting and sweating. I have tryed the mira cool bandanas but I find them to be a pain after they loose their cool. You are walking around with a warm damp bandana around your neck. Not very comfortable. I've resorted to shaving my head in summer months. I've done it for the past couple of years and it helps alot. My hair is normally very full and thick. The owners did spring for a velcro screen for the door to the loading dock but it is not very effective to keeping out insects and having the door open just lets in more heat and humididty. Some of my employees didn't believe me until one day in the middle of August I said fine leave the door open but make sure the screen is sealed tight. There was no breeze at all that day and with in 45 min. they notcied that the kitchen increased in tempature by what seemed like 20 degrees and were begging me to close the door.
If you want my advice bald is the way to go. If your head is cool the rest of your body stays cool.  |
