I didn’t even have to work in that kind of wetbulb at the bug farm. Highest it ever got was 88° and 90% humidity- but I was 20 feet from an external door where I could step outside anytime for cooler air. And eventually I ended up just turning the humidifier off during my shift because…

You are in a situation where the brain will start to think less clearly. You literally can’t work in that for more than half an hour at a time, even someone who is heat-tolerant will be much slower and make all kinds of mistakes.

When I was working at the bug farm it would take up 11-12 hours of my day. 8 on the clock, 1 hour lunch, 1 hour carpooling plus 1 hour of carpool arbitrarily getting there way too early, or 1.5 hour on the bus and 1.5 hours of waiting for the bus. That’s 55-60 hours a week, not including any hours I would work at a restaurant job at the same time.

It wasn’t great, and for me it definitely wasn’t tenabke for more than 2 years. And my carpool wasn’t the only one who got there more than 20 minutes early, maybe around 10% of people did. By and large these were people who had no sense of valuing their time outside work.
