The summertime brings a very different set of health concerns than the winter time- a shift from cold and flu season to heightened environmental awareness. If managed incorrectly, insects and heat can cause wellness issues. Luckily, it is very easy to prevent these problems before they arise.
Pest Control
Mosquitoes and ticks can be more than just a source of annoyance, they can also spread disease. To keep from itching and out from the doctor’s office, be sure to keep around plenty of insect repellent. You can also proof your yard and outdoor spaces to prevent ticks and mosquitoes from moving in. There are all natural tick and mosquito control products available that will keep your plants healthy as well as keeping pests out.
Beware the Sun
To prevent uncomfortable sunburns and potential skin cancer, take precautions to ensure the safety of your precious skin. Be sure to liberally apply sunscreen throughout the day and stay in the shade when you can. Don’t be afraid to go for high numbers like SPF 35 and 45. A brimmed hat is useful for shading your face and protecting your scalp, so find one you won’t mind wearing often. If you do get burned, aloe vera is great for soothing and healing your inflamed skin.
Eye Protection
The bright summer sun is hard on your eyes, too. Make sure your sunglasses are actually doing their job and avoid those whose only function is fashion. Look for sunglasses that protect against 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays and are polarized. The correct fit is also important for blocking harmful rays. Sunglasses are understandably easy to lose, so consider investing in a couple of croakies to secure them around your neck when in use.
There’s no reason not to enjoy being outside this summer, just remember to be smart about it. Avoid health issues like disease, skin cancer and eye damage by using the correct forms of personal protective equipment.
