Heat Exhaustion Safety Tips

Summer isn't just about all fun, but about safety also. Stay cool with a rotating fan, air conditioning, ice cream, popsicles, cold drinks, ice cubes, sun block, UV sunglasses, and water of course.

Getting sleep in the summer, whenever you can, is very important. Take a nap in the daytime to prevent fatigue. It's important to wear light colored clothing, such as: yellow, white, light pinks, light blues, light orange, light greens and so forth. Try to avoid wearing dark colored shirts, like: black, brown, dark blues, and other dark colors. Wearing light colors will keep you cooler; and darker colors attract heat more.

Sitting in the shade under a tree just to feel the cool wind blow is a smart idea. If you feel your body temperature getting too hot; get a wash rag, put it in cold water and apply it to your forehead, this should lower your body heat a little. Also putting your feet in cool water in the summer is a fun and cooling idea.

Furthermore, to help keep your house cool at night, water your front and back lawns with a water hose or water sprinklers. But never sleep with the fan blowing directly on you; always have the fan's air rotating around the room. And go to sleep in cool and light fitting clothes; sleeping with just sheets on your bed might help.
