El Mirage ER and Medical Center

In Arizona’s extreme summer heat, hydration isn’t optional—it’s essential. 💦 The CDC advises drinking plenty of fluids, even if you don’t feel thirsty, to prevent heat-related illnesses. 

Early signs of dehydration include muscle cramps, fatigue, and dark-colored urine. Don’t wait for symptoms—start hydrating early in the day. 

If you or someone else shows signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, such as confusion, fainting, or rapid heartbeat, seek emergency medical care immediately. 🏥

Spending time outside is one of the BEST ways to stay active, reduce stress, and soak in Arizona’s beauty—but don’t forget to protect your skin! 👒☀️

Most skin cancers are caused by too much exposure to UV rays (from the ☀️ sun, tanning beds & sunlamps). UV rays can still cause damage even on cloudy days or cooler temps—and they reflect off water, cement, sand & snow! 😳

Here’s how to stay safe:
✅ Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen
✅ Reapply every 2 hours (or after swimming/sweating)
✅ Wear a wide-brim hat & UV-protective sunglasses
✅ Stay in the shade between 10 AM–4 PM (when UV is strongest)
✅ Check the daily UV Index—if it’s 3 or higher, protect your skin!

Let’s keep our Arizona adventures fun AND safe all year long! 💪🌞💦
