Letter: Wrist warm-up

Published 21 December 2002

From David H. Slade

J. Dalmon writes of how to rapidly cool oneself after exertion (23 November, p 29) by running cool water over the inside of the wrists. Now that it is winter, try a rapid warm-up by holding the wrists under a warm tap. Equally effective!
