Limit strenuous outdoor activity during times of high heat and follow your local wet bulb temperature guidelines. Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before prolonged sun exposure to lower your risk of sunburn. Increase water consumption based on your level of activity. Look for the signs and symptoms of dehydration in yourself and others. Watch your use of caffeinated products such as dietary supplements, coffee and energy drinks as these products can increase dehydration and lead to heat injury. So drink water, stay safe and have a happy summer.
