Summer Safety
Summer is almost here. It’s a great time to go out and play. But take care. The weather gets hot, and bugs are biting. How can you stay healthy this summer? Follow these tips.
Stay on trails.
Going for a hike? Avoid tall grass. That’s where ticks hide. Their bite can make you sick.
Listen to lifeguards.
Lifeguards work at beaches and pools. They help us stay safe in the water.
Drink water.
Hot weather makes you sweat. Your body is releasing water to keep you cool. You need more water to stay healthy. Drink plenty of it, even when you are not thirsty.
Wear sunscreen.
The sun’s rays are stronger than you think. They can burn your skin. Sunscreen can block those rays. So slather it on.
Did You Know?
SPF means “sun protection factor.” That’s how much protection a sunscreen provides. Check the number on the bottle. Choose a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
