When You're Out in the Heat, Listen to Your Bodyhe heat and humidity ofsummer can be an inritantto some people and a serious

health threat to others. The mostimportant means to prevent heat-related problems is to know your ownbody. Your health, your regularif ofexposure to hot weather, and the typeof activity you are used to all play apart in how heat will affect you.

Many medicines including diuretics(water pills), some antibiotics, andsome tranquilizers can cause youproblems in hot weather or with sunexposure. If you take medications,ask your doctor or pharmacist aboutside effects.

Your body must make a bigadjushnent to summer weather. Italso must adjust to a change from air-conditioned buildings or cars to hot,humid outside air. Give yourself achance to a{ust. Take it slow.Increase your activity gradually.

You can help your bodY adaPt to

heat by following a few tips. Don'twait until you're thirsty. Drink aglass of water every 30 minutes in hotweather, especially if you are workingor playrng hard. Dress to allow aircirculation around your skin. Limitalcohol use. Fruit juice is OII butwater is what your body needs.

Finally, listen to what your body istelling you and take action to preventyourself or someone else from becom-ing a heat victim. Heat can affect thebody in a variety of ways:

Prickly heat occurs when sweatglands become blocked and perspira-tion can't drain to the skin sur{ace.The skin gets rashy and itches orburns. Most cases respond best to ashower or bath.

Heat cramps usually occur withexercise. Rest, combined with drink-ing water, should correct the problem.

Heat exhaustion occurs with heatexposure and/or exercise. The skinmay be rnoist and pale. Faintness

may occur. Tleatment is rest andremoval to a cml place. Loosen tight-fitting clothing and drink plenty ofwater. Howevet, neuer giue water toa,n urlconscious Wrsorl- Medical caremay be required.

Heat strcke occurs when the bodycan no longer regulate its tempera-ture. The skin may be dry and appearreddish. Seizures may occur or a lossof consciousness. Not all heat strokevictims have all of these signs. Whenin doubt between heat stroke andheat exhaustion, assume that it isheat stroke . Heat stroke ls o med.icaletnergetrcy. The victim should bemoved to shade. Remove or loosenclothing, and use cool water (not coldor ice water) on the entire body. Callan ambulance.

Help yourself to a safe and healthysummer. Remember these warningsigns and listen to your body.
