SOME OF THEM HAVE PRETTY BAD B.O. AS WELL

Heavy people may collapse more in hot weather, experts say

Add in diabetic dehydration and other conditions common in the obese, and it's a recipe for trouble.

"ER physicians will tell you that they (obese people) are the ones collapsing," said Thomas Adams, a Michigan State University physiologist.
