🥵 How to survive the heat while working as a mascot? Follow these 3 important rules: \t1.\tStay hydrated. Keep a bottle of water nearby and take a few sips whenever you feel thirsty. Always step away from guests to drink comfortably and safely. \t2.\tTake breaks every 15 minutes. A performer should never stay inside a mascot costume for longer than 15 minutes in hot weather — it’s a serious health risk. Overheating and heat stroke are no joke. Take breaks in a cool, shaded space every 15 minute
