Just wanted to let you know that I linked to this post in my weekly roundup (link to it is under my name) – I’m always cranky when I get hot, and I’ve heard of these before but never realized how simple it really is. Thanks so much for posting!

Warning Do not freeze the neck coolie’s. It destroyes the crystals. I’ve had mine for 4 years and they keep working.

I made these for our grandson’s unit staioned in Iraq. You can make the smaller size and they can put them in their helments and it does work. If you know anyone who has servicemen in Iraqu I know they would love to receive them. All they nned do is soak them in water for 10 minutes an it will bring them 20 degrees cooler.

A WORD OF WARNING – WASH/RINSE IT WELL. I used one of these for the second time one summer and hadn’t been warned to make sure to wash it in in warm sudsy water and rinse well before drying it and putting it away. It had become contaminated and gave me a rash all around my neck that lasted over 2 weeks.

You can microwave your rice bags for about 1&1/2 minutes for a warm compress for sore muscles, or store in plastic bag in freezer for a cool compress.

Sukigirl: I can’t find them in the shops here so I decided to make them. It does get really hot and dry here in summer. It’s autumn now though, so it’ll go in the drawer till it gets warm again.

Taueret: Thanks!

Audrey: It worked well in Singapore despite the humidity. It stayed really cool for a long time. It totally dried up in about a week.

Mette: We don’t need neck coolers here in Sydney now either. I love hot water bottles too. Not cold enough for them yet either!

Nadine: Thank you!
