Hot Summer Days

Ugghh... Summer is here. That statement does not come with a smiley either.

The other day, the temp was nearing 38C (100F). Yipes! No wonder there were reports of people just collapsing from heat exhaustion.

There are several things you must to avoid heat stroke (which can be fatal). When you feel exhausted from the heat, you must (i got this from the Dept of Health):
1. sip water for an hour or so
2. loosen clothing
3. lie down and raise feet eight to ten inches high
4. apply cool, wet cloths
5. move to a cool place (not freezing or cold)
