With summer in full swing, the heat is on and so is the potential for getting overheated in the sun. Too much sun can do more than just making you sick, it can cause skin damage and increase your chances of getting skin cancer. Symptoms of heat stress, like fever, headache, nausea, and fatigue, can be difficult to recognize and can quickly worsen, causing illness, injuries, or even death. While heat stress is something to take seriously, it is preventable! Wearing and reapplying sunscreen, staying hydrated, taking breaks in cool areas and knowing the signs of heat stress can help you stay safe in the sun!
