Thanks to the Somerville Office Of Emergency Management for sending excessive heat warning information so that proper action can be taken if the signs of heat-related illness appear – temperatures are expected to be very high this coming week on the east coast. Naturally keeping hydrated & resting in the coolest place you can find are good precautions.
I often think, especially this time of year, of the almost 15,000 heat-related deaths in France in 2003 & of course last winter Carol & I witnessed a man's death – this prompted me to read the graphic below more closely than times I had seen it before.

Stay inside, unless Kerry takes away the refrigerant in the air conditioner.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update on new CPR - I forwarded it to Jerry's email and few others.
ReplyDeleteDoug - Thanks for the reminder on how to know the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. I had the unlucky experience of heat exhaustion as a teenager at Coney Island. I always took precautions to prevent it after that.
