BioDome 4 Glitch?

Don't know whether this is a glitch but I just did some quest around the Scorched Expanse that was repairing vents/water coolers and for some reason my heat exposure chart just kept rising. I wasn't even in the hot area any more but it wouldn't go down. It got to 100 and i started to loose health and couldn't complete any further tasks because I was effectively taking damage. Dying didn't solve the issue nor did leaving the area completely via the teleporters. I had to completely log out and then back in.
