Follow these simple steps to have a safe, fun, and healthy summer!
- Stay cool. Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing, take breaks from the heat, and know your limits. If you feel overheated, relocate to a shaded or an air conditioned space.
- Stay hydrated. Drink LOTS of water and avoid caffeine and alcohol.
- Recognize heat exhaustion. Symptoms include dizziness, headache, and nausea. If you are experiencing these symptoms, immediately go to a cool area and drink plenty of water.
- Avoid sunburn. If you’re going to be in direct sunlight for an extended period of time protect your skin with sunblock!
