A buddy of mine worked as a doc at Kandahar base in Afganistan and he said they had to medivac out guys a few times to Germany who got very sick with rhabdomyolysis from working out in the heat. Proteins from muscle breakdown clog up your kidneys and you go into kidney failure.

Rhabdo pops up in college football programs too sometimes if the coaches aren't smart.
