#HEATED SCARF CRACKED#
Never leave infants, children or pets in a parked car, even if the windows are cracked open.When traveling with children, remember to do the following: While anyone left in a parked car is at risk, children are especially at risk of getting a heat stroke or dying. Tip: Look for sunscreens that say “broad spectrum” or “UVA/UVB protection” on their labels- these products work best.ĭo Not Leave Children in Cars: Cars can quickly heat up to dangerous temperatures, even with a window cracked open.
Continue to reapply it according to the package directions. If you must go outdoors, protect yourself from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and by putting on sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher 30 minutes prior to going out. Wear Sunscreen: Sunburn affects your body’s ability to cool down and can make you dehydrated. Get into a cool area or into the shade, and rest, especially if you become lightheaded, confused, weak, or faint. If exertion in the heat makes your heart pound and leaves you gasping for breath, STOP all activity. If you’re not accustomed to working or exercising in a hot environment, start slowly and pick up the pace gradually. Pace Yourself: Cut down on exercise during the heat. Rest often in shady areas so that your body has a chance to recover. Schedule Outdoor Activities Carefully: Try to limit your outdoor activity to when it’s coolest, like morning and evening hours.
Use your stove and oven less to maintain a cooler temperature in your home. Taking a cool shower or bath or moving to an air-conditioned place is a much better way to cool off.
If your home does not have air conditioning, go to the shopping mall or public library-even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help your body stay cooler when you go back into the heat. Stay Cool Indoors: Stay in an air-conditioned place as much as possible. Wear Appropriate Clothing: Choose lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing.
