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.
