SAFE SUMMER FUN IN THE SUN
that helps cushion and seal out dirt
and germs for multiple days. By sealing
in moisture, hydrocolloid bandages
help promote the optimal healing
environment.
Keep the Fluids Flowing in the Heat
During the summer months, the heat
can quickly lead to dehydration,
which can cause dizziness, headaches
and even heat stroke. Drink plenty
of water throughout the day, even if
you don't feel thirsty, to stay hydrated.
Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of
water (8 ounces each) each day, or
more if you're going to be spending
an extended amount of time outdoors
or engaging in physical activities like
hiking, biking or playing sports.
Keeping a refillable water bottle with
you can make it easier to stay hydrated
on the go and replenish the water
your body loses through sweat. In
addition to water, consuming hydrating
foods like watermelon, strawberries,
cantaloupe, cucumbers and bell
peppers can help maintain your fluid
levels and regulate your body's temperature.
Also avoid excessive consumption
of caffeinated or alcoholic
beverages, which can contribute to
dehydration.
Keep Pesky Insects at Bay
Summer evenings are perfect for
outdoor activities, but they can also
attract mosquitoes, ticks and other
pests. Protect yourself and your family
by applying insect repellent on top
of your sunscreen to all exposed skin
and loose-fitting clothing. Reapply as
needed, according to the instructions
on the package.
Repellant fans, candles, torches and
bracelets may be good alternatives
to spray or roll-on insect repellants.
Wearing long sleeves and pants, especially
in wooded or grassy areas, can
also help prevent bug bites. Remember
to check for ticks after spending
time outdoors and, if found, promptly
remove them by using clean tweezers
and pulling straight upward. Avoid
twisting, squeezing or burning ticks,
which can lead to the release of saliva
or cause the head to break off.|
Enjoy The Outdoors Again
It's important to have the right bandages
on hand for every situation.
Bandages made with breathable and
lightweight fabric and a four-sided
seal are perfect for those hot summer
days. While bandages infused with
natural ingredients like soothing aloe
vera, vitamin E and baking soda offer
a fresh approach to healing.
Proven to aid in faster healing, hydrocolloid
bandages, like those infused
with aloe vera from the CURAD Naturals
line, offer waterproof protection
Our mission is to protect you and
your family from ticks, fl eas,
mosquitoes, and other dangerous
pests that can carry tick borne
pathogens, mosquito-borne
diseases and more.

prevent sunburn, even if it's partly
cloudy or overcast. If you plan to be
outside for more than 15 minutes, apply
a broad-spectrum sunscreen with
an SPF of at least 30 before heading
outdoors. Remember to reapply to all
exposed skin - including overlooked
spots like your ears, neck and tops of
feet - every two hours, or more often
if you're swimming or sweating.
Wearing protective clothing, such
as wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses
and light, long-sleeved shirts, can
also help shield you from harmful
UV rays. When possible, seek shade
during peak sun hours, typically 10
a.m.-4 p.m., to minimize direct exposure.
Be Prepared for Summer Scrapes
Accidents can happen anytime, especially
during active summer days.

including bandages, antiseptic wipes
