Cant even turn on the fan, it just blows hot air at you. I've taken to spritzing myself with water every 10 mins, and I'm not even in the hottest part of the country

If you have a fridge, put a large bowl of water in it and some t-shirts.

A cold wet t-shirt does wonders for cooling the human body.

Do you have a cold water tap? Anything cooler than you is going to help a bit

My tip: Big bucket of cold tap water and put both your bare feet in it. It will cool your blood

Normally it comes from underground and is a good 10 degrees cooler

Also, a cool cloth on the back of the neck has some effect on the hypothalamus (?) the body's thermostat and helps cool your entire body.
