🌞 Stay Hydrated and Healthy! 🌞

As temperatures rise, it’s crucial to keep our children safe and hydrated! Dehydration can happen faster than we think, especially during hot weather or physical activity. Here are some tips to keep your little ones hydrated:

💧 Encourage Regular Water Breaks: Make sure kids drink water throughout the day, not just when they’re thirsty.

🍉 Offer Hydrating Snacks: Fruits like watermelon, oranges, and cucumbers are not only delicious but also packed with water!

👒 Stay Cool: Dress your child in light clothing, hats and avoid outdoor activities during peak heat hours.

⚠️ Watch for Signs of Dehydration: Look out for signs like dry mouth, concentrated urine, dizziness, or fatigue. If you notice these, it may be time to rest and rehydrate.

🏥 When in Doubt, Seek Medical Attention: Severe dehydration can be dangerous. If your child shows symptoms like extreme thirst, no urination for hours, or lethargy, please consult a healthcare professional immediately.

SYPHILIS

*Syphilis is a preventable and curable bacterial s*xually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. If untreated, it can cause serious health issues.

*How do people get syphilis? Syphilis spreads from person-to-person by direct contact with a syphilitic sore, known as a chancre. Chancres can occur in, on, or around the ge****ls, a**s, re**um, and lips or mouth.

*Syphilis is transmitted during oral, vaginal and a**l s*x, in pregnancy and through blood transfusion.

*SYMPTOMS may come and go for up to 2 years. They include body rashes that last 2 – 6 weeks — often on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. There are lots of other symptoms, including mild fever, fatigue, sore throat, hair loss, weight loss, swollen glands, headache, and muscle pains.
