| Misty Mate Personal Portable Misting Air Coolers
Micro Mist Technology Using mist to keep cool is a technological advance of evaporative cooling. Misting was developed to create cooling in outdoor environments rather than indoor ones. Misting works by forcing pressurized water through specially designed nozzles that produce an Ultra Fine Mist. The water droplets that these nozzles create are so small (about one-half the diameter of a strand of hair), they instantly flash evaporate. The evaporation can reduce the surrounding air as much as 30° F (15° C) in just seconds. This dome of cool refreshing air insulates you from the harsh effects of the hot sun making any outdoor activity more safe and enjoyable. Our engineers describe it something like this: "Evaporative cooling uses the science of thermal dynamics; that is, the fact that water requires energy to evaporate (about 600 calories of heat per gram of water). When the mist evaporates, this exchange of energy results in lowering the ambient temperature." Most of our customers are not really interested in the science, they just care about the results. That's what Misty Mate ® products deliver. The optimum conditions for evaporative cooling are when the humidity is below 80%. Recognizing that humidity levels often reaches beyond 80% our design team created a line of products that can perform effectively in very humid conditions. These products take advantage of conductive cooling which is the cooling of the exposed surface of the skin. Our Misty Mate® Pump ™ personal, portable-cooling systems can be filled with ice and water to produce an icy cold mist ideal for this purpose. When it's really sticky outside that icy mist feels great! For over a decade, Misty Mate® has been leading the industry with the engineering, design, and manufacture of patented products that utilize this technology. Our products have been designed with years of consumer research. That means we've been listening to you, our loyal customers. Misty Mate® now manufactures a complete line of high quality, yet affordable products to keep you cool anytime you seek relief from the heat . . . at work, at home and at play. Evaporative Cooling Long before conventional air conditioning became available, evaporative cooling was used. It is still being used in homes and businesses as an effective, economical, and environmentally safe alternative to air conditioning. Evaporative cooling works by evaporating water within an air stream. For example, when stepping out of a pool and a breeze touches the moisture on the skin a COOLING effect results because of evaporation. Naturally the body produces sweat to achieve this CHILLING effect of evaporation. Misty Mate® has found a way to assist our bodies by increasing the moisture on the skin through MIST! For people who are heat sensitive as the result of spinal-cord injury (SCI), multiple sclerosis (MS), or any other medical disorder that doesn't allow the body to regulate its temperature properly, summer's heat can pose a serious health threat. Misty Mate®'s personal cooling products can work well within the evaporative cooling vein. Sure you can mist the area around you and flash evaporate some mist to get a cooling effect, but you can also directly mist your skin and let the slightest breeze (even by motion) evaporate the water from your skin, which removes heat at the same time! Mowing the lawn is one of Jennifer Howard's summer chores, but it’s not necessarily one of her favorites. 'I get extremely hot especially because it's in the sun and on a hot summer day, it's bad!,' she said. That's why she agreed to check out Misty Mate, which says it will cool air as much as 30 degrees and it doesn’t require batteries. Jennifer followed the directions, which instructed users to fill the bottom of the bottle with water to the top hose inside, replace the cap and pump it up. She even added a few ice cubes to make the mist even cooler, then screwed on the top and pumped it. The mist came right out and she said she felt cooler right away. But she said it does get you wet. 'I would use it more for if I was going for a run or if I was bike riding or something of that nature.' But does it work? 'It works. Yeah, it definitely works.'" ~Sandra Parker, WVEC-TV, http://www.wvec.com/news/diw/stories/wvec_diw_062105_misty_mate.2f781538.html, June 21, 2005.

Dangers of HEAT In the past 10 years, more people have died in the United States from heat related illnesses than from hurricanes, tornadoes, lightning and fires combined. The numbers are staggering. In Europe, over 20,000 people died from the heat during the summer of 2003. Prevention, knowledge and preparedness are the keys to prevent disaster from happening. Army medical studies have revealed that 20% of all people exposed to 90°F or more suffer from some sort of heat related injury. Not all heat related illnessess are incapacitating but all of them cause some sort of reduction in performance. Heat Stroke Heat Stroke occurs when the body fails to regulate its own temperature and body temperature continues to rise, often to 105°F or higher. A person with heat stroke may stop sweating. Symptoms include: confusion delirium unconsciousness Heat stroke can develop without exertion when a person is exposed to a hot environment. Exertional heat stroke may develop when a person is working or exercising in a hot environment. The body may sweat profusely but it still produces more heat than it can lose. Both types of heat stroke cause severe dehydration and can cause body organs to stop functioning. Emergency medical treatment is needed to prevent death. Heat Exhaustion Heat Exhaustion occurs when the body cannot sweat enough to cool itself. It generally develops when a person is working or excercising in hot weather. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include: fatigue weakness headache dizziness nausea Heat exhaustion can sometimes lead to heat stroke, which requires emergency medical treatment. Heat Tetany Heat Tetany is usually a result of short periods of stress in intense heat environments. Under these stressful conditions a person can hyperventilate. It can lead to respiratory problems, numbness and tingling or muscle spasms. Treatment includes cooling the person down and slowing the breathing pattern. There are numerous other heat related injuries including: Heat Rash, Heat Cramps, Heat Sycope (fainting) and Heat Edema (swelling). Misty Mate Misters can help prevent heat related illnesses and help in the recovery process. Independent laboratories have proven a 30°F temperature drop when using Misty Mate at 15% humidity with warm tap water. Above 70% humidity just add ice for a refreshingly cool sensation.

As such, I have never seen everything offered for orchids and know their needs, and there is nothing like a Misty Mate! I was tired of the hand pump misters, but none of them had the 'very fine mist' they advertised. Imagine my surprise when I FINALLY got a fine mist with an easy to manipulate hose and container. I can also get under the leaves for once. Thanks for your great product! I love Misty Mate, and my orchids love it too!". Senchal H., California "I have several Misty Mates including the hip pack.

We cannot thank you enough!" Dawn P., Maryland "My Misty Mate is 6 years old and still works fine.

Thank you for making such a fantastic product!" Mary K., California "I am so pleased with your Misty Mate ® personal cooler...I probably have avoided heat stroke by utilizing your product as described."

When the ice in their chest would melt, they would fill up the Misty Mates...my grandson said it was the best thing ever! Of course, the mist didn't last that long as he shared it with all the other boys. In the piney woods of Southeast Texas the temperature was about 100 degrees without a breeze. Thank you for the Misty Mate!" Jean L., Texas "My mother is 80 years old and has breathing trouble. When she gets out of breath, she sprays her face with the Misty Mate and she says it helps a lot. She told her doctor and he said it was a great idea!" William D., Kansas "I have had the Misty Mate for 9 years and I love it. When I first got it I had back surgery and it was summer time, it was hot out and I couldn't take the heat any more and my wife bought it for me. Then I got my umbrella cockatoo and my two cockatiels and I used it for them. Now when I show them the bottle the birds go crazy. When I'm done giving them a shower they act goofy by hanging upside down and blow kisses. If I don't give them a shower every day they get mad by throwing their seed around and scream all day long. I will always have the misty mate around for them and myself because I would be lost without it." Fred B., New York "Obviously I love it, I already bought some and plan to buy more...Just don't stop making them! My Aunt lives on the lake, but some folks don't like the water, they were great for that. My husband is going to use his on the golf course and I am buying another for a newly pregnant daughter-in-law. My son is going to Carowinds, a local amusement park, and is loving the idea of taking a Misty Mate with him...Thank you so much for your products!!"
