Ingredients for Florida Water
2oz. bottle of "Spirits of Ammonia" (local Walgreen’s)
Actually it's Aromatic Ammonia Spirit U.S.P.
DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD AMMONIA!!!!!!!!!!!
3 bottles make 4 gallons
1 gal. Plastic bucket (I like a Playmate-type cooler).
About 4-7 wash cloths.
Use
Fill bucket 1/2 full of ice, pour 3/4 bottle of "spirits of
ammonia" into bucket for each gallon, and fill the rest of bucket with
water and mix. Place washcloths into bucket and stir around a couple of times.
When player comes off field and into dugout
area, pick up washcloth, wring out excess and wipe down arms, face (DON'T
suck on washcloth), neck (front and back), shoulders, chest, etc. It really
is effective while held on back of neck, especially "catchers" and
"pitchers". And please don't
inhale to a great degree, only mildly. Do
this between innings. This is an "instant" relief and feels similar
to just getting out of a shower.
I guarantee, the next hot day-game, your team
will be asking for it, again.
If players are young, coaches should help them. Please don't let them DRINK
it!!!!
