And of course, there's the very real risk of dehydrating yourself ill. People have even died using the suits (though most people are smart enough to take the suit off as soon as it starts to become uncomfortable).
The "home version" of this is wrapping yourself in saran wrap. Which I'm ashamed to admit I did (this was in the late 70's, and since I was born in 1966 I was 13 or younger at the time). I remember my mom yelling at me, because I used up nearly a whole roll of saran wrap (oddly, she didn't criticise what I was doing, but rather was upset that I had used up the entire roll).
thats really funny about your mom getting upset about you using all the saran wrap i was gigglen by myself her at work in my coworkers were staring at me as if I was going crazy hilarious I think i just lost a pound....hahaha...which will bring me to my next thread....hahaha....
