Heat-Related Illnesses: Early Summer Concerns
As temperatures climb in late spring and early summer, heat exhaustion and dehydration become common concerns:
- Dehydration symptoms (extreme thirst, dizziness, dark urine)
- Heat exhaustion (heavy sweating, weakness, cold/clammy skin)
- Sunburn with blistering or severe pain
- Children and seniors showing signs of heat intolerance
Our providers can administer IV fluids for dehydration and provide treatment for painful sunburns.
