Twenty-seven men were exposed to various hot, wet conditions for a total of 87 experiments. Determinations were made of rectal temperature, heart rate, blood pH, and the concentrations of CO2, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, and protein in plasma. Symptoms ranging from tingling of extremities to carpopedal spasms were observed. The frequency and severity of symptoms were apparently not related to the absolute change in any of the blood constituents but rather to the rate of change.
