Outdoor Safety – Watch out for Ticks!

10 Tips for Staying CoolThis Summer
Use an insect repellant on exposed skin, and treat
clothing and footwear with a permethrin-based
repellant that provides weeks of protection and
remains through several washings.
Tuck your pants into socks to reduce the amount of
exposed skin. When hiking, stay on well-worn paths
and out of tall grass or bushy areas.
Check for ticks immediately after being outdoors. The
longer a tick is attached, the greater your risk of
infection.
If you discover a tick, use tweezers to remove it as
close to the skin as possible. Don't grab it with your
fingers and squeeze it. That injects the tick fluids into
you and increases the risk of infection, Ohl warned.
If you suffer a tick bite and develop a fever one to two
weeks later, see a doctor. The incubation period for
tick-borne diseases is eight to 14 days, he said.
Protect your dog with tick collars or monthly
treatments. This will prevent ticks from being brought
into your home by the dog.
Wear loose-fitting, cotton clothing in light colors.
2.
Store your favorite lotions and aloe gels in the fridge for
extra cooling relief from the heat.
3.
Drink PLENTY of water (even if you’re not thirsty)
4.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol as well as salty foods because
these can cause dehydration quickly.
5.
Limit sun exposure during the sun’s peak hours: 10am –
4pm.
6.
1.
Take 1 or 2 cool showers a day to keep your body
temperature down and keep you feeling fresh and
comfortable.
7.
Turn off appliances that are not in use as they can
generate extra heat and raise your electric bill.
8. Keep a generous supply of refreshing, cool treats on
hand like cucumbers, carrots, citrus fruits, and make your
own popsicles out of fruit you have on hand.
9.
Wet a hand towel and toss in the freezer until it’s frozen
then put it on the back of your neck to help cool yourself
down.
10. Keep meals light during the day – have a fresh salad or
deli sandwich for lunch BUT take advantage of the crock
pot for dinner. You can have a complete family meal
cooking while you’re outside! There’s no having to slave
over the hot oven and heat up the house!
