When temperatures climb, it’s easy to think, “I’ll be fine.” But heat can affect anyone, children, older adults, outdoor workers, athletes, and even healthy adults.
Remember to:
• Drink water before you feel thirsty.
• Wear light-colored, lightweight clothing.
• Limit time outdoors during the hottest part of the day (10 AM–4 PM).
• Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle, even for a minute.
• Check on family, friends, and neighbors who may be more vulnerable.
Know the warning signs of heat-related illness:
✔️ Heavy sweating
✔️ Dizziness or headache
✔️ Muscle cramps
✔️ Nausea
✔️ Fatigue or weakness
✔️ Confusion or fainting
If you or someone else experiences confusion, loses consciousness, or has a body temperature of 103°F or higher, seek emergency medical care immediately.
Your health doesn’t take a vacation just because it’s summer. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and take care of yourself this week.
