SUMMER WEATHER TIPS
It's that time of year! Since we have not seen the
sunshine much this spring and early summer, I
thought it would be nice to have a few reminders, so
that when it does come out, we stay safe!
Heat wave is the number one weather-related killer.
Heat Disorder Symptoms:
Sunburn:
redness and pain. In severe cases swelling
of the skin, blisters, fever, headaches. First Aid:
Ointments for mild cases if  blisters appear and do
not break. If breaking occurs, apply dry sterile
dressing. Serious, extensive cases should be seen by
your physician.
Heat Cramps: Painful spasms usually in the muscles
of the legs and abdomen possible. Heavy sweating.
First Aid: Firm pressure on cramping muscles or
gentle massage to relieve spasms. Give sips of water.
if nausea occurs, discontinue use.
Heat Exhaustion:  Heavy sweating, weakness, skin
cold, pale, and clammy. Pulse thready. Normal
temperature possible. Fainting and vomiting. First
Aid: Get victim out of sun. Lay down and loosen
clothing. Apply cool wet cloths. Fan or move victim
to air conditioned room. Sips of water. If nausea
occurs, discontinue use. If vomiting continues, seek
immediate medical attention.
Heat stroke (or Sunstroke): High body temperature
(106 degrees or higher). Hot dry skin. Rapid and
strong pulse. Possible unconsciousness. First Aid:  
HEAT STROKE IS A SEVERE MEDICAL EMERGENCY.
SUMMON EMERGENCY MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR
GET VICTIM TO A HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY. DELAY
CAN BE FATAL. Move the victim to a cooler
environment. Reduce body temperature with cold
bath and sponging. Use extreme caution. Remove
clothing, use fans and air conditioners. If
temperature rises again, repeat process. Do not give
fluids.
Sunscreen protection:  Use a sunscreen that has a
sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 or higher.
Sunscreens that say "broad-spectrum" can protect
the skin from ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) rays. Apply
sunscreen at least 30 minutes BEFORE going in the
sun. Reapply every 2 to 3 hours while in the sun and
after swimming or sweating a lot.
STAY SAFE WHILE OUTSIDE!!
