- A continuous light mist or spray of water and/or a fan operating over a container of ice can be directed at a guinea pig within its enclosure to lower the air temperature, whether the guinea pig is housed indoors or outdoors.
- However, we assure you that being a human guinea pig is very safe - you won't have a mad scientist brandishing a scalpel and cackling above you.
