I've been wondering these things, for awhile, but haven't gotten around to looking them up, on the Internet----so, I just thought I'd ask YOU guys, to see if anyone knows.....

1. Why is it that when I'm hot (as in, the weather's hot) and drink ice-cold water, I get HOTTER----as in, it actually makes me sweat, MORE?

The best thing I can figure is that heat + water = humidity----so, THAT makes me hotter?

2. Why does SALT make me cool-off, so quickly----or, things containing salt?

(I don't actually know, for a FACT, that it's salt, that's doin' it----I just decided it was that, cuz one time I drank a Gatorade, and one time I hate a TV dinner----both are extremely high, in salt content.)

Anybody have a clue?

Thanks, ahead of time!
