Summer is here!! These tips will keep you cool on those REALLY HOT DAYS… - drink plenty of water, especially if you're sweating - wear loose-fitting cotton clothing - keep a spray bottle with water in your refrigerator for a quick refreshing spritz - take frequent baths or showers with cool or tepid water - keep bottles of water in the freezer so you can grad them on your way out - if the heat is intolerable stay indoors when you can and avoid activities in direct sunlight or on hot asphalt surfaces - the elderly, infants, and anyone with a chronic illness are more susceptible to dehydration and should stay indoors - keep pets indoors or in a shaded area and don't walk them on hot pavement as it will burn the pads of their feet
