Without the context of the article, here is my two cents: Yes, your blood does thicken as you dehydrate, and extreme heat will lead you to dehydrate quicker.
There is some truth in the headline, just carry around a bottle of water when you are outside for extended periods of time. As long as you stay hydrated.
I live in SA which reaches Temps of 30 to 35 celcius throughout the summer.....I have NEVER known of Anyone to die of "Blood clots" because of the heat...it's BS...
I never mentioned blood clots, just thicker blood due to dehydration. It was late last night when I posted, and there is no link to the article, so I couldn't read it. I was just going off the known info I had, which is from wilderness survival books and stories.
