Alcohol Awareness Month is observed in April each year to raise awareness about the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption and to promote ways to address alcohol-related issues.

“ Alcohol-related problems continue to take a heavy toll on individuals, families, and communities. Researchers estimate that each year there are more than 178,000 alcohol-related deaths, making alcohol a leading preventable cause of death in the United States. In addition, more than 200 disease and injury-related conditions are associated with alcohol misuse.”

🌞Heat stroke is a serious condition that occurs when the body overheats due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures or physical exertion in hot environments. Here are some key points to help you understand and prevent heat stroke:

1. Recognize the symptoms: Heat stroke can cause symptoms such as high body temperature, rapid heartbeat, headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea, and hot, dry skin.

2. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, especially water, to stay hydrated. Avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages as they can contribute to dehydration.

3. Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing in hot weather. This helps your body to cool down more efficiently.

4. Seek shade and limit outdoor activities: Stay in the shade or indoors during the hottest hours of the day. If you must be outside, take frequent breaks and rest in cool areas.

5. Use sunscreen: Apply sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays.

6. Never leave anyone in a parked car: Temperatures inside a parked car can rise rapidly, leading to heat stroke. Never leave children, pets, or anyone else inside a parked car, even for a short period.

7. Be mindful of medications: Some medications can make you more susceptible to heat stroke by affecting your body's ability to regulate temperature. Consult your doctor if you have concerns about your medications.

8. Check on vulnerable individuals: Keep an eye on infants, young children, older adults, and those with chronic illnesses as they are more prone to heat-related complications.

9. Acclimatize gradually: If you're not accustomed to exercising or working in hot environments, gradually increase your exposure time over several days to allow your body to adjust.

10. Stay informed: Pay attention to weather forecasts and heat advisories. Take necessary precautions when extreme heat is predicted.

Remember, heat stroke is a medical emergency. If you suspect someone is experiencing heat stroke, call emergency services immediately and take immediate steps to cool the person down while waiting for help to arrive.
