It’s Hot


Why does it happen every summer?  We can’t believe how hot it is!  Hey, it’s summer – it’s suppose to be hot.  It’s been hot in the summer for centuries. This isn’t new news.

But, people need to take the heat seriously and use every precaution for themselves and their animals to stay healthy.  According to Heidi Cullen, a senior research scientist with Climate Central, a nonprofit research organization which reports on climate changes, heat is the No. 1 weather-related killer in the United States—ahead of tornadoes, floods, or lightning strikes.

Drink those fluids! I talked to an EMT the other day and asked him if they had been busy in July.  He said, “Oh yes, and the answer is as simple as drinking water! They can buy a $1 bottled water or they can pay $800 for an IV bag -  their choice.” 

So take heed.  Jim Rohn once said, “There have never been two consecutive summers.” October will be here soon
