Be careful in summer sun
There are lots of neat
pla •ces to go in the summer
that take you into crowds.
There are ball games, tourist
attractions, fairs, busy
beaches.
They all combine fun and
excitement, exertion and, if
you're lucky, lots of sun-
shine.
Nothing can move the
cloud cover over this cheerful
picture faster than an accid-
ent or sudden illness. And
one of the sad things is that
those things usually don't
have to happen.
The St. John Ambulance
Brigade has years of experi-
ence in helping people
who've had a problem when
theyve been on an outing.
Wayne Cotgreave, Provin-
cial Cadet Superintendent
with the Brigade, says some
ordinary caution mixed with
the day's enthusiasm can
minimize the potential for
trouble. The situations the
Brigade deals with most
often are sprains, bruises,
and sore feet, insect bites
and stings, with the conse-
quenus of too much sun and
over exertion, with over in-
dulgence and with heart
attacks.
Cotgreave says the pre-
ventive measures are simple
ones. If you know you're
going to be out in the sun for
a long time, dress for
Wear comfortable, easy fit-
ting clothes and a hat. Wear
cotton socks that will give
your feet some breathing
room, and shoes that are
appropriate for the things
you'll be doing.
If you're climbing around
in bleachers or boats or
bump'em cars, take it easy so
you don't pull up lame with a
painful sprain. In fact, take
it easy generally, especially
if you're not used to exercise.
If you begin to feel the heat,
ther's no need to be heroic.
Sit down in the shade for a
few minutes and sip a cool
drink. Watch the intake a
little too. Too much to eat or
drink, too much junk food,
too much alcohol can invite
holidays woes.
If you're susceptible to
sun, apply an efficient sun
screen, and cover up. If you
seem to be a favorite target
for bugs and bees,consider
using a repellant, don't wear
perfume or hair Spray. Wear
light coloured clothes, and
avoid buggy places as much
as .you Can.
If you are around when
someone does suffer an 111-
ness or injury, St. John
Ambulance ,first aid can help.
Shock: The shock of falling
into very cold water can kill
or immobilize a person.
Quick rescue is essential.
However, shock can occur
as the result of almost any
incident, and people can die
of it. So always treat an
accident victim for shock,
which means: maintain his
body temperature, reassure
him, and monitor his breath-
ing.
Blisters ; Avoid blisters by
wearing sensible socks and
shoes. If you do get a blister,
don't puncture it. Wash your
foot well, dry it thoroughly,
and if necessary cover the
blister with a dry dressing. If
it does come open, guard
against infection by washing
it well and covering it with a
clean dressing. The best
treatment is rest, with the
washed and well dried foot
elevated 'and exposed to air.
Bites & Stings: If someone
suffers an insect bite or
sting, get the stinger out if
you can, by scratching it out
with your fingernail. Apply
baking soda, or use a mouth
wash if the bite is around the
mouth. If much swelling
occurs, get medical aid
because you might be deal-
, ing with an allergic reaction.
Use repellants where insects
are a problem.
With other bites (snake,
animal, etc...) keep the vic-
tim still, wash the wound
with soap and get to hospital
as soon as possible.
Bee Stings: If you are stung
by a bee, wasp, yellow jacket
or hornet, run cold water
over the sting or pack ice
around it to ease pain.
Depress around the stinger,
scrape it off with a fingernail
or sterilized needle. Apply
baking soda, calamine lotion
or rubbing alcohol.
Scrapes & Cuts: Danger is'
from infection. Cleanse well
with warm water and soap -
cover with sterile dressing.
Heat Exhaustion: Caused by
exposure to excessive heat,
especially moist heat, with or
without physcial exertion.
Muscular cramps, head-
ache, dizziness, restlessness,
pale, cold clammy skin, weak.
pulse, rapid and shallow
breathing are indicators of
heat exhaustion. Treat by
moving victim to a cool place
and if he is conscious, giving
him cool salted water to drink
(1/2 teaspoon to one pint of
water). Get medical aid if
recovery is not quick or there
is loss of consciousness.
Heat Stroke: A very serious
illness caused by high temp-
eratures and hot drying
winds or high humidity and
poor circulation. The vict-
im's face is flushed and skin
hot and dry, temperature in
the 40°C (104°F ) range,
pulse is strong, breathing is
noisy, unconsciousness may
de.s./elop. Reduce victim's
temperature quickly, remove
clothing, bathe him in cold
water, fanning him at the
same time. Move to medical
aid. The victim may bie
unless the first aider works
actively at lowering body
temperature.
Fainting: If you think some-
one is going to faint, have
