Throwback Thursday Presented by the USEA Foundation: Heat Illness

Dr. David McLain, MD., wrote the following article about heat illness in human athletes as the Chairman of the USCTA Safety Committee for the July/August issue of Eventing USA, and this important information is a must-read with summer around the corner. Check it out here.
