Car Accidents Bike Crashes
This is obvious, especially with so many people
outdoors. Teenagers are generally the ones killed
in most summer car accidents. Its a time for
them to have fun and be carefree but its also
extremely dangerous out there. Even if your teen
is licensed, there are some driving rules that
need to be followed. Driving with too many
passengers is not advisable and trips should be
limited to whats really necessary.

Bike crashes are also very common. They are
particularly dangerous as riders dont have as
much protection as other drivers. Wearing a
helmet is always advisable, especially if your
children ride with you.

Heat Stroke
Spending too much time outdoors will cause the
body to overheat. Symptoms of heat stroke include
nausea, vomiting, and confusion. Its important
to stay hydrated when spending time outdoors.
Wearing loose-fitting clothes, taking a few
breaks in the shade to stay cool, will help you
avoid being heat stroked.

Drowning Accidents
A lot of boating and pool accidents occur in the
summer. Its very hot and people like to stay in
the water but accidents tend to happen when so
many people are in one place at the same time.
Children are the ones most vulnerable to these
types of accidents. They should wear life jackets
when on a boat or swimming.
7
Food Poisoning
The warm weather is definitely a target for
bacteria. Its very costly for some businesses to
keep food at the right temperatures. Sometimes
its easy to figure out when the food is
contaminated but this is not always the case. If
you are the one doing the cooking outdoors, make
sure you use a meat thermometer.

Playground Accidents
Most kids enjoy having fun in the sun. But
children are exposed to more dangers than adults.
Playgrounds are one of the places where most
accidents and injuries occur. When you take your
kids to a playground, whether in your
neighborhood or a place you are visiting for the
summer, make sure the equipment is safe and never
leave your children unsupervised.

Pets and Bugs

• Mosquitoes bites and dog bites are very common in
  the summer since pets, as well as bugs, are more
  abundant. Wearing protective clothing always
  helps keep the intruders away. Apply for
  repellent and medicine if the unpredictable
  happens. Dont leave pets unattended and stay
  away from angry dogs. Also, if you have pets,
  remember they can suffer the same things humans
  do. Provide your pets with plenty of water, and
  the right nutrition.
