Sometimes Summer can get scorching hot, and that heat can make it hard to enjoy the outdoors. But summer should be made to enjoy BBQs, family gatherings, backyard sports, and anything else fun under the sun. So what’s the best way to enjoy your property while still keeping cool in the heat? Don’t risk Exposure While the sun has many positive benefits, such as enhancing our mood, relieving stress, and giving us our daily intake of Vitamin D, too much sun exposure can be detrimental to our health. Harmful effects of the sun include: Sunburn – One of the most common effects of too much sun exposure, sunburns cause redness, pain, swelling, blisters, and even flu-like symptoms like chills, fever, headache, or nausea. Heat Exhaustion – Heat exhaustion occurs when the body loses an excessive amount of water and salt, typically due to extreme sweating. It is most common in the elderly, people with high blood pressure, and those doing physical activity in a hot environment. Heatstroke – The most serious heat-related illness, heatstroke occurs when the body’s temperature rises uncontrollably, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body cannot cool down. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not administered when needed.
