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

bullet

Use a wide-brimmed shade hat.

bullet

      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.
