Feeling the heat?

Heat illness such as heatstroke happens in hot places, both indoors and outdoors. It can be caused by being active in a place that’s too hot.

Heat illness can range from mild to severe, and heat exhaustion and heatstroke are the most serious types.

Signs of heat exhaustion include:
• Tiredness or weakness
• Feeling faint or dizzy
• Headache
• Muscle cramps
• Feeling or being sick
• Heavy sweating
• Intense thirst
• Heat rash

If someone has symptoms of heat exhaustion:
• Move them to a cool or shaded place
• Remove unnecessary clothing - such as socks
• Encourage them to drink water or rehydration drinks
• Cool exposed skin with water and a fan

Most people start to feel better within 30 to 60 minutes if they're cooled down quickly. If symptoms don't improve, it could develop into heatstroke.

🚨 Call 999 immediately if someone has:
• A very high temperature
• Confusion or lack of coordination
• Difficulty breathing
• A seizure
• Loss of consciousness
• Symptoms that aren't improving after 30 minutes of cooling down

Remember to drink plenty of fluids, avoid becoming too hot, and keep an eye on older relatives, young children and anyone with existing health conditions during periods of warm weather.

Mauled by midgies, tormented by ticks, chomped by clegs? 🦟🐜🐝

Scotland’s summer wildlife is out in full force - and they’re hungry!

Whether you’re hiking in the Highlands, enjoying local walks or relaxing at a garden BBQ, insect bites can be more than just annoying. Some can cause allergic reactions or even carry infections such as Lyme disease.

🧴 Top tips to stay bite-free:
✔️ Use insect repellent
✔️ Wear long sleeves and trousers in grassy or wooded areas
✔️ Keep food covered outdoors
✔️ Avoid strong perfumes that attract bugs
✔️ If you’re camping, avoid pitching your tent near water such as rivers or lochs

If you’ve been bitten and the area becomes swollen, painful or isn’t healing, get it checked.

IT'S SUMMER! (we think 🤔)

Whether you're chasing the sunshine or dodging the showers, a little prep for your health goes a long way.

Remember to PACK, PLAN, PROTECT.

🧳 PACK – Don’t forget your repeat prescription medicines when travelling away from home, even if you’re only away for a night or two.

🧴 PLAN – Keep remedies at home to deal with common issues like bites and stings, sunburn, or hay fever.

☀️ PROTECT – Stay safe in spells of hot weather by seeking shade, wearing sun protection, and keeping an eye on vulnerable people such as young children, older adults, and those with pre-existing medical conditions.
