Your point about not sweating is well taken and understood...and now maybe I should tell my story about sweating in winter while visiting friends in Houston. We flew from DC to Houston, then traveled by car from Houston to New Orleans to see the Sugar Bowl. Sweated in both places and began to freeze when the temp suddenly changed in New Orleans. It gets darn humid in Missouri, too, during the summer. When you finally get some humidity in your state, let us know! How much per month do you folks spend on drinking water? (just kidding, ya know)

Yeah, you stop sweating before you get heat stroke, but you (should) know you're in trouble just by looking at your skin carefully, as it's appearance changes. Sometimes dehydration isn't the only reason you stop sweating. A lack of potassium will do it too, because you need potassium to sweat. Happened to me during a half ironman Triathlon a number of years back. Was almost disqualified but managed to recover after a few banannas (about 12!). It was odd because you had a bottle of water during the run and two miles later you had to pee the same amount of water you drank!
