Heat safety tips from Dr Debra Per on heat exhaustion
Dr Debra Per, emergency director at Richland Memorial Hospital, urges staying hydrated with water and mineral drinks, resting in shade during peak sun from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and avoiding strenuous activity for the elderly or medicated. Watch for early heat exhaustion signs like dizziness and fever, which can mimic flu and lead to heat stroke if ignored. If indoors without cooling, use fans and, as a last resort, cool baths.
