Symptoms of dehydration and heat cramps include dizziness, fatigue, faintness, headaches, muscle cramps, and increased thirst. The Department of Public Health recommends several ways to manage the heat:
Never leave children, elderly people, or pets alone in a parked vehicle.
Wear light, loose fitting clothing to stay cool
Drink water often. Avoid drinking alcohol.
Check on those in your neighborhood who have limited mobility.
Stay in an air-conditioned area during peak heat hours such as a mall, park, or library.
Avoid unnecessary sun exposure. When in the sun, wear a hat, preferably with a wide brim.
Don’t exercise vigorously outside during the hottest hours of the day.
