Having fun this summer and staying healthy at the same time can be very easy. Just follow these simple steps:

  • When going outside, always wear a high SPF sunscreen (at Least 30) to prevent sunburns and skin cancer
  • when outdoors, always wear bug spray to prevent the spread of diseases such as West Nile, Lyme disease and Yellow Fever.
  • When it is especially hot outdoors, be sure to monitor yourself closely. If you start to feel faint or dizzy, head inside immediately, for this could be a sign of heatstroke.
  • Be sure to remain indoors during thunder storms in order to reduce the Chance of getting struck by lightning.
