Summer Dangers

Summer deaths related to heat exhaustion is not limited to adults only.  In our small town we have lost a 16 year old and a ten year old due to heat exhaustion.
Please limit amount of time spent outdoors during the hottest parts of the day.  If you or your child have to be outside during these times or anytime you are physically active while it is hot, please drink Gator-aide or another supplement high in electrolytes.  Both of the children above died due to low levels of potassium.   For more information about summer dangers please read the following articles:
