Summer Heat Safety
Protect yourself from dehydration:
 |
Wear sunscreen -
SPF 15 or higher (the most effective products say
“broad spectrum” or “UVA/UVB protection” on their labels)
|
|
Hydrate early and throughout the day. Don’t wait until
you are thirsty. Drink water or sports drinks frequently to replenish
your body fluids and restore your electrolytes
|
|
Use a wide-brimmed shade hat.
|
|
Wear UV protective eyewear.
|
|
Conduct yard work, shopping or recreational activities
(golf or tennis) during the coolest part of the day.
|
|
Cool down, if you get overheated (cooling your core
temperature is critical). Get into the shade or into an air
conditioned area; use wet towels to cool the skin; set under a fan, if
possible, (the evaporative effect will cool you quicker), and drink
cold water.
|
|
If you have
dry skin, are
not sweating, feel light-headed or dizzy, are confused and have a
dry mouth and mucous membranes or have an increased
heart rate and breathing,
call 9-1-1 for medical assistance. |
