To protect your health when temperatures are high, remember to stay cool, stay hydrated and stay informed.

STAY COOL: Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing. Stay in an air-conditioned place.

STAY HYDRATED: Drink plenty of water even before you are thirsty. Don’t wait until you are already thirsty. Avoid sugary or alcoholic beverages which can cause you to lose even more body fluid.

STAY INFORMED: Prepare for extreme heat ahead of time by keeping an eye on local weather forecasts.

Check on each other at least twice a day while working in extreme heat. Heat-related illness can cause confusion or loss of consciousness.

Bites from mosquitoes and ticks can make you sick. These pests can spread germs that cause diseases like West Nile and Lyme disease. You can "fight the bite" and protect yourself by:

1. Using an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellent (https://www.epa.gov/insect-repellents). When used as directed, these repellents are proven safe and effective, even for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

2. Wearing loose-fitting, long clothing.

3. Treating clothing and gear with 0.5% permethrin.
