预防烟花爆竹伤害
Fireworks can cause death and injury, including burns, cuts, bruises, and foreign objects in your eyes.
- 切勿让幼儿玩耍或点燃烟花。
- 始终有成人监督烟花活动。
- 避免购买用牛皮纸包装的烟花，这通常意味着它们是为专业展示而制造的，可能对消费者造成危险。
- 确保您和您的家人在安全距离观看烟花表演。
- 如果有人因烟花而受伤，请立即拨打 911。
战胜炎热
In hot temperatures your body may be unable to properly cool itself. This could lead to serious health problems.
- Drink plenty of fluids, regardless of your activity level. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink. Warning: If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you drink or has you on water pills, ask how much you should drink while the weather is hot.
- 不要喝含有酒精或大量糖的液体——这些实际上会导致您流失更多的体液。另外，避免喝太冷的饮料，因为它们会导致胃痉挛。
- 戴上宽边帽子和太阳镜，保护自己免受阳光照射。穿轻便、浅色、宽松的衣服。
- 使用 SPF 15 或更高的防晒霜 – 最有效的产品在其标签上注明“广谱”或“UVA/UVB 防护”。
- 呆在阴凉处！
不要让胃病让你放慢脚步
The summer months typically see a spike in reports of foodborne illness. Keep the food safe at your 4th of July picnic or BBQ.
- 使用单独的盘子和器皿盛放生的和熟的肉类和家禽以及即食食品，如生水果和蔬菜。
- Use a food thermometer to make sure meat and poultry are cooked hot enough to kill harmful germs.
- 不要将食物在室温下放置超过两小时 - 如果室外温度超过 90 度，则为一小时。将易腐烂的食物存放在装有冰块或冰袋的隔热冷却器中。
准备冒险
Drowning is responsible for more deaths among children 1 to 4 years old than any other cause except birth defects.
- 指定一名负责的成年人负责监督所有在水中或水边游泳或玩耍的儿童。溺水发生得迅速而安静，因此成人在看护儿童时不应参与任何其他分散注意力的活动。
- 教孩子们游泳。正规的游泳课程可以保护幼儿免于溺水。
- 总是和伙伴一起游泳。尽可能选择有救生员的游泳地点。
- 游泳、划船或滑水之前或期间避免饮酒。监督儿童时请勿饮酒。
- 在游泳或划船之前了解当地的天气状况和预报。强风、雷暴和雷击是危险的。
对抗咬伤
Bugs, including mosquitoes, ticks, and some flies can spread diseases like 寨卡病毒, dengue, and Lyme disease.
- Use EPA-registered insect repellents that contain at least 20% DEET for protection against mosquitoes, ticks, and other bugs.
- 穿长袖衬衫、长裤、袜子和帽子。将衬衫塞进裤子里，然后将裤子塞进袜子里，以获得最大程度的保护。
- Check yourself and your children for ticks. Ticks are easy to remove.
