Multiple Sclerosis Patients Especially Sensitive to Heat

TaTa Coolerz was recently featured in a Healthline.com article about MS and heat sensitivity.

"Another creative approach to addressing hot weather symptoms, for women in particular, is TaTa Coolerz, developed by businesswoman Kim Gillespie. These cooling pads are, as you’d expect, worn concealed inside the bra.

“We began working on the prototype in 2009 for a cooling device that could be discreetly worn by women to help cool core body temperatures," Gillespie said. "Hopefully, once the patent is approved, we will have the funding to create a whole line of products."






MS patients are especially vulnerable to high heat, but there are several products on the market to help them keep cool this summer.
