SUMMERTIME SAFETYSUMMERTIME WILL SOON be here and people will be outside enjoying thesunshine. The long, warm days offer the perfect setting for picnics, camping,swimming and family barbeques. However, just as cold weather can pose certain threats to our health, so can thehot and humid conditions of an Ohio summer. Keep in mind that intense heat is most dangerous for the veryyoung, elderly, obese and chronically ill; therefore, extra precautions should be taken by those individuals. Formost of us, the following simple tips will enable us to enjoy a safe and happy summer:• Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. • Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, protective clothing andsunscreen when in the sun. • Drink plenty of fluids, avoiding alcohol and caffeinated beverages, although a lightcaffeine tea, such as green tea, can contain agents that may be slightly protective. • Limit high-protein foods asthese increase metabolic heat. • Avoid outdoor exertion and sun exposure between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., the hottesttime of the day with the highest UV rays. A simple way to remember is: Short shadow = seek shadeWhenever possible, seek out air-conditioned surroundings when the temperature really soars.Use sunscreen liberally and often, choosing one with both UVA protection and an SPF of at least 30.Sunburn, which has been termed a “precancerous glow,” can be a serious condition, sometimes leading to severepain, redness and even blistering. In such cases, you should always seek medical attention.For milder cases, aloe vera gel, ice packs, nonprescription pain relievers and hydrocortisone cream may providerelief. However, prevention is always the better choice.
