| Dangers of Working and Playing Outside In Hot Weather! |  |
© By Lena Sanchez
Warm summer months are great times of enjoyment and even the
ill feel less ill, just from the experience of summer sun and warmth.
The sun causes our body to create Vitamin D, which is required to
have strong bones and muscles, among other benefits. Sun helps
to have a healthy brain as well!
Read "You Are My Sunshine" for more sun benefits.

Working or playing in midday when the heat and/or humidity are
high can be dangerous.
DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS and make sure you have sufficient
minerals intake BEFORE going outdoors WHILE WORKING
OR PLAYING in the heat. Alcoholic drinks will dehydrate you,
so stay away from all alcohol if you work outside or plan on
spending several hours out in the heat and sunshine!
You've had a great day at the beach, lake or park and suddenly you
are experiencing;
* nausea or cramps
* dizziness
* dry skin - no sweating (very dangerous)
* redness of skin
* goose bumps on chest and arms
* incoherent speech and thoughts
* loss of gait or coordination
Two or more of these are possible signs of a sun stroke and
should be taken seriously!
To re-hydrate quickly take a teaspoon of liquid minerals, lots
of purified water get inside and cool down IMMEDIATELY.
If the last two symptoms are present re-hydrate and seek
immediate medical attention. Or if other symptoms persist
or get worse after re-hydrating and cooling down get medical
attention! These may be life threatening!
Minor dehydration signs are;
* Headache
* nausea
These are symptoms of too much sun and can be safely re-hydrated
and not usually life threatening
Enjoy your summer but do it smartly!
