Calling all sperm experts!

DH has always had a great count for S/A's and for the IUI's.  But...he owns a store on a boardwalk that's only open in the summer so he's there from about 9am to 1am 6 days a week.  The last IUI count was 1/2 what it normally was so he thinks it's "hot tub effect" from being in a store with 800* oven, 2 400* fryers and 85* heat daily. 

There's nothing we can do about that, but is there any supplements he could take or foods he could eat to counter that?  Thanks!

He's right!  I know it sounds silly, but this is especially true for chefs.  Gordon Ramsey even joked about it.

Now, I know this will sound insane, but he should line his apron with aluminum foil.  This will protect him.  If you have one, a fire blanket is even better!

He doesn't wear an apron but he could probably put some inside of his shorts.  It would probably drive him crazy but he would do it!

Wow. I honestly can't believe I've never thought of this..my husband never, ever goes in hot tubs but he is a college coach (of an outdoor sport) and we live in Alabama. He's outside in 100+ degree weather 80% of the time.

Whoa...how did I never think of this before? Yikes.

It didn't occur to me until we had 1/2 the sperm all of a sudden!  If it makes you feel better his best friend is a chef and does private parties (in Miami) when he's off and they got KU first try.  Of course.  So it might not affect everyone.
