☀️ Summer fun in the sun can have effects that are not fun at all, including heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke. 🥵

😓 How do you know which is which, and what should you do?

💪 Heat cramps are muscle spasms. Take a break and drink water and get electrolytes
🥵 Heat exhaustion happens when your body overheats and can look like heavy sweating, fever and cold, clammy skin. Get in the shade, get water and apply cold items to the back of your neck.
😵‍💫 Heatstroke is when your body is seriously overheating. You'll sweat less, your skin will flush and feel hot. You'll also have headache, vomiting and convulsions. Get to an ER immediately!

🏥 Don't forget: Our ER is here for you 24/7, and the Wamego Family Clinic Walk-In Clinic is open 7 a.m. - 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Stay safe and cool! 🧊
