Beat the Heat

Summer may seem like the ideal time for outdoor fun, but summer comes with its own set of safety issues. Heat illness can affect anyone, even people who are in great shape and healthy. Heat illness can be mild or severe. Sometimes it’s just a sign that you need to cool off and get out of the sun, but at other times it can be dangerous and life-threatening.

Signs of mild heat illness may include heat rash and heat cramps. If you notice either of these signs when exercising, seek some shade and cool off.

When the heat is an emergency, heat exhaustion may cause:

  • Heavy sweating
  • Cold and clammy skin
  • Feeling weak
  • Weak but fast pulse
  • Feeling sick
  • Headache
  • Fainting
  • Dizziness

If you notice these signs in yourself or another person, seek shade and go indoors. Put cool, wet cloth on the body and head or take a cool bath. Get medical help if it doesn’t get better within an hour or if the person is throwing up.

CLICK HERE for the CDC Heat-Related Illness chart that includes what to look for and what to do in the case of Heat Stroke, Heat Exhaustion, Heat Cramps, Sunburn and Heat Rash. We hope you find these tips helpful. 

Stay safe and have a great summer!
