Beat the heat! ☀
Make sure to exercise caution during the hot summer months to avoid heatstroke and other heat-related illnesses. If you notice feelings of confusion, profuse sweating, trouble breathing or skin that is red, hot and dry – you may be experiencing heat exhaustion or heatstroke.
When recognized in the early stages, mild heat exhaustion can be treated at home.
Take action:
🌡 Stop activity
🌡 Get out of direct sunlight
🌡 Drink water, juice or rehydration liquids
🌡 Cool down by applying cool compresses
🌡 Rest until you feel better
