BE CAREFUL OUT THERE

     We have had a pretty hot June and July is stacking up to be hotter.   It is never a good sign when you can hear your mettle window frames popping from the sun's heat at 9 30 in the morning.   It is going to be another hot one today.  In this hot weather it is wise to take precautions.   Always drink lots of water.   Dehydration can cause you to get dizzy tired and confused.   Use sun screen.   The sun on a cloud free day is very dangerous.   I have a friend that was painting a deck for her mother in law and did not use sun screen.   The next day her skin was purple and she could not lift her arms over her head it hurt so bad.  
     Many times people do not realize the real dangers because sometimes you will get confused from dehydration or sun stroke.   People also do not realize what the extra sweating can do to existing problems like diabetes.   In any extreme weather be it hot or cold it is a good idea to check your glucose levels more often if you are a diabetic, because getting too hot or too cold can cause them to shift unexpectedly.
     Another problem that I myself have in the spring and summer is allergies.   Sometimes my head gets so congested it makes me a little dizzy and my eyes film up and itch so bad I can hardly see.   Eye drops help, but they do not fix the problem only a season change may fix it for a time.
     I have noticed something else lately.   All this heat is making people irritable  and grouchy for no apparent reason other then they are uncomfortable.   An ac or a big fan can help with that problem.
     So in closing you all be careful out there, and keep your sun screen , sunglasses and hats handy when going out side.   Bad sun burns can lead to skin cancer that you could avoid if you take the right precautions.
     LOL hope I do not sound too much like your mother, but at 61 if I can pass on any advice to help others I want to do it.
