On a Tuesday afternoon, I decide to volunteer at Fox Lake Farms. My current task is to clean up horse feces. I have been out here for an hour and the sun is making me sweat profusely. My throat starts to ache and my lips are begin to dry. Sweat flows freely from my face. My arms started to tingle. Then I started suffer minor Pulsatile tinnitus. The vinegary taste of my sweat surrounds my mouth as the stench the horse poop was excreting reaches my nose. The smell makes me cringe. Finally, I started to experience syncope. All my surroundings dissipated in the void of black I was looking straight into. I whipped my head back and forth to try to shake myself up, but to no avail. I began to quickly tire and fell to my knees. I sat there and just waited until I regained my sight. When I could see again, I stood up and finished cleaning up the poop and went and got a drink of Dihydrogen Oxide.
This experience made me realize that I always need to be prepared.
