<p>After months &#111;&#102; frigid temps, dodging rainstorms and wrapped &#105;&#110; warm blankets, Memorial Day &#105;&#115; &#116;&#104;&#101; &#102;&#105;&#114;&#115;&#116; holiday to celebrate &#116;&#104;&#101; &#115;&#116;&#097;&#114;&#116; &#111;&#102; warmer weather. &#116;&#104;&#101; sun &#105;&#115; &#111;&#117;&#116;. Sunglasses &#097;&#114;&#101; &#111;&#110;. Sweat &#105;&#115; glistening. Finally, there&#8217;s hope &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; summer &#105;&#115; &#111;&#110; &#116;&#104;&#101; &#119;&#097;&#121;. </p>
<p>Most Memorial Day celebrations &#097;&#114;&#101; &#111;&#117;&#116;&#115;&#105;&#100;&#101; &#105;&#110; &#116;&#104;&#101; heat, gathering &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; friends &#111;&#114; family over food, &#111;&#114; consuming alcoholic beverages. Yet, even &#105;&#110; May&#8217;s typical 70- to 80-degree weather, being healthy and preventing illness &#115;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; &#098;&#101; &#111;&#110; &#116;&#104;&#101; forefront &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; brain.</p>
<p>Please pass &#116;&#104;&#101; potato salad… &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; &#097; &#115;&#105;&#100;&#101; &#111;&#102; food poisoningThe lack &#111;&#102; refrigeration at barbecue lunches invites bacteria to join &#116;&#104;&#101; party. &#116;&#104;&#101; biggest culprits &#097;&#114;&#101; dishes made &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; mayonnaise, such as potato salad &#111;&#114; coleslaw. Not fully cooking meat &#111;&#110; &#116;&#104;&#101; grille and accidentally touching cooked food &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; &#116;&#104;&#101; raw meat utensils &#097;&#114;&#101; also setups for food poisoning.</p>
<p>Food poisoning symptoms &#097;&#114;&#101; not subtle. &#116;&#104;&#101; abdominal pain, cramping, vomiting and diarrhea often hits suddenly, after &#116;&#119;&#111; to six hours &#111;&#102; eating &#116;&#104;&#101; offending food. &#109;&#111;&#115;&#116; times, &#105;&#116; &#104;&#097;&#115; to simply runs its course. &#098;&#117;&#116;, remember to stay hydrated and avoid milk &#111;&#114; dairy &#117;&#110;&#116;&#105;&#108; &#116;&#104;&#101; diarrhea stops. </p>
<p>Pregnant women, children, &#116;&#104;&#101; elderly and those &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; weak immune systems &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; to &#098;&#101; especially careful.</p>
<p>In order to prevent infection, cook meat &#117;&#110;&#116;&#105;&#108; fully &#100;&#111;&#110;&#101;. Keep raw food far &#097;&#119;&#097;&#121; from cooked food. And, keep &#116;&#104;&#101; cold items &#105;&#110; &#097; good quality &#099;&#111;&#111;&#108;&#101;&#114; &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; lots &#111;&#102; ice. Maintain &#116;&#104;&#101; &#099;&#111;&#111;&#108;&#101;&#114; as close to 40 degrees Fahrenheit as possible.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t shrivel upDuring hot weather months, especially &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; exercising, &#109;&#097;&#107;&#101; &#105;&#116; &#097; point to drink &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; fluids. Waiting &#117;&#110;&#116;&#105;&#108; thirst sets &#105;&#110; &#105;&#115; not &#097;&#108;&#119;&#097;&#121;&#115; &#097; reliable judge &#111;&#102; dehydration, especially &#105;&#110; older adults. &#109;&#097;&#110;&#121; people &#097;&#114;&#101; &#097;&#108;&#114;&#101;&#097;&#100;&#121; dehydrated long before feeling thirsty. &#116;&#104;&#101; best judge &#111;&#102; hydration &#105;&#115; &#116;&#104;&#101; color &#111;&#102; urine. &#097; well-hydrated person&#8217;s urine &#105;&#115; clear &#111;&#114; pale yellow. &#097;&#110;&#121;&#116;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#103; darker, and it&#8217;s time to drink &#117;&#112;.</p>
<p>Children and elderly adults &#097;&#114;&#101; &#109;&#111;&#115;&#116; sensitive to severe dehydration. &#098;&#117;&#116;, regular, healthy adults &#097;&#114;&#101; &#115;&#116;&#105;&#108;&#108; 60 percent water. Even &#097; small amount &#111;&#102; dehydration can keep &#116;&#104;&#101; body from working optimally. Women &#097;&#114;&#101; suggested to drink eight glasses &#097; day &#111;&#102; fluids and men, 12 cups.</p>
<p>Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages &#8212; such as coffee, green tea and soda &#8212; actually dehydrates even &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; because &#116;&#104;&#101; person loses fluids by urinating. &#115;&#111; &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; drinking caffeinated liquids, increase fluid intake to &#109;&#097;&#107;&#101; &#117;&#112; for what&#8217;s lost.</p>
<p>Running &#111;&#117;&#116; &#111;&#102; steamHeat illnesses &#117;&#115;&#117;&#097;&#108;&#108;&#121; happen from staying &#105;&#110; &#116;&#104;&#101; heat &#116;&#111;&#111; long. Sweating &#105;&#115; &#116;&#104;&#101; body&#8217;s &#119;&#097;&#121; &#111;&#102; releasing internal heat, &#098;&#117;&#116; &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101;&#116;&#105;&#109;&#101;&#115; sweating alone can&#8217;t keep &#117;&#112; &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; &#116;&#104;&#101; body&#8217;s rising temperature. Horsing &#097;&#114;&#111;&#117;&#110;&#100; &#111;&#114; exercising &#116;&#111;&#111; much &#105;&#110; hot weather increases &#116;&#104;&#101; risk &#111;&#102; dehydration. Young children, older adults and being overweight adds to &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; risk.</p>
<p>Heat exhaustion &#105;&#115; characterized by profuse sweating, lightheadedness, nausea, headache and vomiting. Muscle cramps &#109;&#097;&#121; occur and even precede heat exhaustion. Immediate treatment &#115;&#104;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; involve getting &#111;&#117;&#116; &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; heat, sitting &#105;&#110; front &#111;&#102; &#097; fan &#111;&#114; &#117;&#115;&#105;&#110;&#103; cold water and ice to get &#099;&#111;&#111;&#108;.</p>
<p>If not, heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke, &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; &#105;&#115; life-threatening. &#116;&#104;&#101; dizziness and lightheadedness worsens, &#116;&#104;&#101; person becomes confused, &#104;&#097;&#115; seizures &#111;&#114; can fall &#105;&#110;&#116;&#111; &#097; coma. &#116;&#104;&#101; person &#105;&#115; &#110;&#111; longer sweating and &#116;&#104;&#101; pulse &#105;&#115; &#102;&#097;&#115;&#116; and weak. People &#119;&#105;&#116;&#104; heat stroke need to &#098;&#101; immediately cooled and brought to &#097; hospital.</p>
<p>Alcohol and energy drinks &#109;&#097;&#107;&#101; heat exhaustion and stroke &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; likely due to &#116;&#104;&#101; dehydration. Also, ingredients &#105;&#110; energy drinks &#8212; especially caffeine &#8212; can alone raise &#116;&#104;&#101; body&#8217;s temperature &#105;&#110; hot weather.</p>
<p>Poisoned by &#097; good timeDrinking &#109;&#097;&#110;&#121; alcoholic beverages back-to-back &#8212; typically &#102;&#105;&#118;&#101; &#111;&#114; &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; &#8212; over &#097; short period &#111;&#102; time can &#099;&#097;&#117;&#115;&#101; alcohol poisoning. &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; &#116;&#104;&#101; blood&#8217;s level &#111;&#102; alcohol increases to dangerous levels, &#116;&#104;&#101; person can become unconscious and breathing can slow &#100;&#111;&#119;&#110;, decreasing oxygen to &#116;&#104;&#101; brain and body. If &#116;&#104;&#101; person vomits &#119;&#104;&#105;&#108;&#101; unconscious, &#116;&#104;&#101;&#121; can choke to death &#111;&#110; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; vomit. If any &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#115;&#101; symptoms occur after someone drinks alcohol, get &#116;&#104;&#101;&#109; to medical attention immediately.</p>
<p>And driving this weekend? Remain sober. Nearly half &#111;&#102; motor vehicle accidents involve alcohol. And, &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; number &#103;&#111;&#101;&#115; &#117;&#112; &#097;&#114;&#111;&#117;&#110;&#100; holidays and proms, &#109;&#097;&#107;&#105;&#110;&#103; Memorial Day weekend &#097; prime danger.</p>
