Beat the Heat

                                   As the end of June approaches, one thing that

                                    shows no sign of ending is the summer sun. The

                                   combination of heat and humidity that are so

                                   frequent in these summer months can sometimes

                                   spell disaster if you are not careful.

 

                                   Because heat related illness can come on so

                                   quickly, you might not realize that you are in danger. If you are working outside, some things that you need to pay close attention to are: sweating a lot, slight headaches, muscle cramps and dizziness. If you are outside and begin to feel any of these symptoms, you need to get out of the heat immediately.

 Some of the most common heat related illnesses include:

Heat Cramps – painful spasms usually in the legs and abdomen

Heat Exhaustion – Heavy sweating, cool skin with a pale or clammy feeling, fast or weak pulse, fainting, dizziness, headache and confusion.

Heat Stroke – Temperature of 103 degrees or higher, no sweating, rapid pulse, fast and shallow breathing, nausea, dizziness, headaches or confusion.

 Medical experts warn that heat stroke is a severe medical emergency. Anyone suffering from heat strokes should be taken to a medical professional or the hospital immediately. Without medical attention, heat stroke can be fatal.

CDC have some tips to avoid overheating:

 Drink plenty of water or natural fruit juices. Avoid alcoholic beverages or drinks with caffeine.

Wear loose fitting, lightweight, light colored clothing and a wide brimmed hat if necessary.

Remember to use sunscreen.

Use the buddy system between co-workers to ensure that signs of heat stress do not go unnoticed.

Take cool (not icy cold) showers or baths.

Eat small, frequent meals. Avoid high protein foods.

 If you remember the above warnings and use common sense, your summer should be happy, healthy and full of fun.
