There are a number of different things that we are looking at, not just the amount of sweating that's occurring. In fact, in some cases, somebody's sweating mechanism could actually have shut down and they stopped sweating. They could appear very red faced, or they could be very hale a they oftentimes will start to lose a little bit of their cognitive abilities. Disorientation, disorientation. It's its in one way or the other. Gerry probably don't know that one, but it's the largest ten k in the united states, 55 thousand runners on july fourth. And so, you know, we would obviously want to be very keen on preventing heat stroke.
