June 22, 2009 · Filed Under Health Care
Just a word about heat sense. We’re now in the season where we are going to experience some very hot and humid days. Try to observe these common sense tips to survive the hot days of summer.
- If you don’t have to be outside stay indoors
- drink plenty of liquids, the best is cool water
- wear loose, light, and light colored clothing
- short hair cuts, and hairdo’s that keep your hair away from your face will feel more comfortable especially if it’s off your face and neck, this allows more air contact to evaporate the sweat from your skin and will feel cooler
- If you are outside try to stay in shade and avoid direct sunlight for more than a couple of minutes
- don’t think your pets don’t feel the heat also, do not lock them in hot places for more than a few minutes and leave them plenty of water and circulating fresh air
- if you don’t have access to air conditioning, a washcloth wet with cool water or a spray bottle and a fan with cool you off.
- remember that we still have to worry about West Nile from mosquitos so guard yourself and your family against the pests.
