Yeah! Although, I don't know how well that would work when the ambient temp exceeds normal body temps. Anecdotally a really, really fast hot shower is great for cooling. Like less than a minute, probably more like 30 seconds. Then park your butt in front of a fan to get some evaporative cooling and relax for as long as it takes. Opens your pores I don't know about that. I've always figured the key here is vasodilation, which helps the body shed heat. Opposite of vasoconstriction obviously. A cold shower causes vasoconstriction, while simultaneously not providing enough surface area contact between you and the water to effectively change your body temp. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasodilation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasodilation It's pretty well accepted, isn't it? http://theconversation.com/health-check-do-cold-showers-cool-you-down-71004 http://theconversation.com/health-check-do-cold-showers-cool... Of course, if you really want to change your body temp, there's no substitute for total immersion in a bathtub or swimming pool. There's a reason why this is how it's done in a medical setting.
