[07/25/16]   BEAT THE HEAT! Follow these three steps recommended by the CDC.

1). STAY COOL: Keep your body temperature cool to avoid heat-related illness.
* Stay in air-conditioned buildings as much as possible.
* Find an air-conditioned shelter.

* Avoid direct sunlight.
* Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
* Take cool showers or baths.
* Check on those most at-risk twice a day.

2). STAY HYDRATED: Because your body loses fluids through sweat, you can become dehydrated during times of extreme heat.
* Drink more water than usual.
* Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink more fluids.
* Drink from two to four cups of water every hour while working or exercising outside.
* Avoid alcohol or liquids containing high amounts of sugar.

[04/09/16]   Who knew ? Did you know?

According to the CDC the facts about influenza are listed below.
What is influenza (also called flu)?

The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting a flu vaccine each year.

Signs and symptoms of flu

People who have the flu often feel some or all of these signs and symptoms:

Fever* or feeling feverish/chills
Cough
Sore throat
Runny or stuffy nose
Muscle or body aches
Headaches
Fatigue (very tired)
Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.
*It’s important to note that not everyone with flu will have a fever.

Period of contagiousness

You may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. Some people, especially young children and people with weakened immune systems, might be able to infect others for an even longer time.

How serious is the flu?

Flu is unpredictable and how severe it is can vary widely from one season to the next depending on many things, including:

what flu viruses are spreading,
how much flu vaccine is available
when vaccine is available
how many people get vaccinated, and
how well the flu vaccine is matched to flu viruses that are causing illness.
Certain people are at greater risk for serious complications if they get the flu. This includes older people, young children, pregnant women and people with certain health conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease).

Flu seasons are unpredictable and can be severe. Over a period of 30 years, between 1976 and 2006, estimates of flu-associated deaths in the United States range from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people.

Complications of flu

Complications of flu can include bacterial pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, asthma, or diabetes.

Prevent seasonal flu: Get vaccinated

The single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccine each season.
