HEALTH TIP
Summer Health Hazards
Winter is commonly the
time for colds and flu and
sneezes. But there are some
diseases and accidents that
do their worst in hot weather.
Some of these are obvious.
Sun strokes and heat strokes
are more likely to occur in
July and August than in
January. Too much exposure
and too much exercise in the
hot sun may produce sun
stroke. Prolonged excessive
heat, either in or out of doors,
can cause heat stroke. In
either case it is important to
keep the victim cool and call
a physician at once.
Sunburn has hospitalized
many a vacationer. Every
one should know, says the
American Medical Associa
tion, that gradual exposure to
the sun, beginning with a few
minutes a day, is the
recommended course. But
many of us forget to watch
the clock and to take
precautions against sunburn
in the excitement of the first
day at camp or at the
seashore.
The bacteria that cause
diarrhea and stomach upsets
multiply much faster in
lukewarm foods, and it’s
important to keep cold foods
in refrigeration and to keep
hot foods hot.
Swimming is fine exercise
and also is good for cooling
off on a hot day. Those with
sinus or ear trouble should be
careful about swimming.
Swimmers should make
certain that the water is safe
from pollution. A clear
mountain stream may look
attractive. It also may be
loaded with germs. And there
still are cases of typhoid and
disentery from drinking
untreated water. Campers
can disinfect water by boiling
or by commercial disinfec
tant tablets.
If there are horses or cows
around, there is likely to be
tetanus. Tetanus (lockjaw) is
very serious. It can be
prevented by injection of
tetanus toxoid. If your family
hasn’t had tetanus boosters
recently, get your shots
before going to the country.
Flies, roaches, mosquitoes
and ticks are troublesome in
the hot months. Insecticides
and screens usually can keep
them under control. In tick
country it is important to
make a close examination
after disrobing and remove
all ticks.

FISHING PROSPECTS
