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.

❤️ From all of us at Family Physicians of Cedar Rapids, we hope you have a safe, healthy, and happy Monday!
