Cool Down with Hot Summer First-Aid When the temperature tops 90 and the soles
of your shoes sizzle on the sidewalk, cold therapy is a necessity for summer
first-aid Isabel Marant Madrid.
Whether it is ice from your freezer, a bag of frozen vegetables or a convenient
commercial cold pack, ice therapy has many more uses than treating bumps and
bruises isabel

heat-related illnesses.During the hot summer months, heat exhaustion and heat
stroke can be a problem. Symptoms of exhaustion can include dizziness, weakness,
a feeling of nausea, excessive sweating and a shallow, quick pulse. With more
serious heat stroke, the skin is hot and dry, and mental confusion can occur
along with a loss of consciousness. Cold packs can be used to keep the body cool
in excessive temperatures, helping to prevent heat exhaustion. Many athletes
cool down after a summer event with an icy cold pack on the back of their necks

can be used to lower the body temperature to a safe level. Always seek medical
attention in the case of heat stroke as this condition can be sudden and deadly.
Ice bug bites.Let�s face it, insect bites are a nuisance, causing swelling,
itching and sometimes pain. Icing a bite immediately will keep the bug poison
from spreading to other parts of the body, reduce swelling and inflammation, and
numb the area, lessening the need to itch. Use ice therapy on mosquito, bee,
spider, fire ant and centipede bites. If an allergic reaction happens or it is a
serious bite, such as from the poisonous Brown Recluse Spider, immediately seek
medical help.Keep pets cool.Even pets can suffer in the summer heat. Keeping
them cool can be tricky. An ice pack wrapped in a towel or beneath a thin
blanket might do the trick if they decide to snooze on top of it. Ice cubes are
a cool treat that some animals enjoy. There are also commercial products made
specifically for horses to ice their legs down after a ride. Special caution
should be taken to never use a product containing toxins or one that might
easily break, endangering a pet if they decide it would be more fun to play with
the ice pack than lay on it. Cool a Burn.Getting too much sun or being careless
around an outside grill can result in summer burns. For minor first degree burns
caused by brief contact with a hot object, water or steam, and sunburn, cool the
skin by first holding it under running water, then apply a cold pack to numb the
pain. If blistering occurs (second or third degree burns) seek medical help.Cold
treatment for night sweats. Hot summer evenings can mean intense night sweats
for menopausal women. A great natural approach to cooling off when awakened by a
wave of heat is to tuck a cold pack into the pillowcase so that it lies at the
crook of the neck. Within a few minutes, the heat wave will subside, allowing
for a restful night�s sleep fashion designer cxm117.Make sure you have at least
one or two cold packs in your freezer for summer first-aid. Chill out and be
prepared!Disclaimer: This information is not intended as a substitute for
