Tips about Sun & Heat Tips
So some people might be shaking their heads but I'm from Colorado been to Disney world four previous times and never got heat rash. I'm a natural redhead and have really pale skin and despite going through a bottle of sunscreen a day for the first time I managed to get a really bad heat rash. It was all over my collarbone, the top of my shoulders, upper back, and neck. It finally went away after a week and a half of being home. After dealing with the itching and pain for four days I finally vented to my mom about it. She, being the wonderful and all-knowing mom, knew what it was and ee went to the first aid center in MK. We walked in, and told the front desk person what was up, he looked at me over the counter and confirmed that was what I had. About 5 minuets later I was leaving with three ice packs and laughing. They totally got what was going on, joked with us to help the pain, and sent us on our way.
- Lightning can strike even when it isn't raining.
- When you hear thunder, take shelter, since that means lightning is close. The safest place is inside a sturdy, enclosed building.
- A metal-topped vehicle with the windows up is also safe shelter.
- Stay inside for 30 minutes after you hear the last sound of thunder.
- When inside, stay away from corded phones and electronics.
- Avoid sinks, showers and faucets.
