Yeah, I thought acclimatisation was mostly related to altitude, but it seems it’s also just as relevant to heat! During the past weeks in Thailand I had just started to operate near normal at 38°C (albeit with every pore sweating like a running tap). Now an outing in -10°C with who knows how much wind-chill (maybe feeling as low as -20°C?), a 58° difference, was just too much to tolerate!

Yes, I’ve told you before, one you’ve got them, the cold agglutinins never go away
Unless you have something to break them up – like cake, or whisky!
