Heat safety tips
Beat the heat this summer with these tips:
- Stay HYDRATED. Drink water throughout the day. Replenish electrolytes with sports drinks like Gatorade.
- Wear SUNSCREEN and reapply often when outside. Remember your ears and scalp!
- Dress for the heat with loose, airy CLOTHING that will let your skin breathe.
- Check for HOT SURFACES. Be sure slides and swings are cool enough for your kids. Check that the sidewalk heat is OK for your pet’s paws.
- Never leave your child or pet in a CAR. Temperatures rise quickly and dangerously in closed vehicles.
- Avoid ALCOHOL. Heat and alcohol aren’t a good mix. When you have a drink, do so in a cool area or an air-conditioned building. Alternate between alcohol and water.
- Check for INSECT BITES. Ticks and mosquitos are rampant during the summer. Steer clear of stagnant water and check yourself for ticks after hikes and outdoor activities.
- Stay vigilant. HEAT STROKE begins with leg cramps and escalates quickly. When you feel cramps, dizziness, or exhaustion, get to a cool area and rehydrate.
- COOL your body fast by placing ice packs on your neck. Really feeling the heat? Take a cold shower to lower your body temperature.
When you want a new home that is comfortable all summer long, give me a call.
