JULY 2009 HEALTH OBSERVANCES

This month is all about:

• Fireworks safety
• Skin cancer prevention
• Pool safety
• Hydration safety

Enjoy July 4th but use caution with any fireworks display, take care when having a barbecue to lower cancer-causing by-products by keeping meat moist and reapplying marinade and not allowing meat to char.  Apply UVA/UVB sun block daily and re-apply every couple of hours.  Make sure little children are constantly watched to avoid pool tragedies.  Remember that by the time you are thirsty, dehydration has already set in.  Monitor urine color and make sure it remains very pale yellow.
