Mississippi health officials encourage neighbors to prepare for summer heat
SUMMARY: Practicing safety habits during summer heat can be life-saving. Key tips include staying hydrated and wearing sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher, applied 30 minutes before sun exposure to prevent skin cancer. It's crucial never to leave children, pets, or the elderly in a car, as heat stroke can occur within 15 minutes. Regularly check car back seats. Other essential habits include taking breaks, finding shade, and limiting alcohol consumption to avoid dehydration and heat stroke. For more safety information, visit msdh.ms.gov.
