Summer may be a time to enjoy but I came across and article saying that summer is also a time for diseases.

Well, you don't lose anything by just taking care of yourself right? We also can't afford to be sick during the summer so here is a list of common diseases:

Heat Stroke

This is fatal and will cause a life if left untreated. Avoid heat stroke by not exposing yourself too much outdoors especially during the noon time.

Sun Burn

Make sure you wear your sunblock all the time. Bring umbrellas and wear a hat to prevent sun burns.

Prickly Heat

These itchy red rashes are due to the hot and humid weather. Your sweat glands clog and can induce the rash. To relieve it, apply prickly powder or cornstarch.

Measles/Chicken Pox

These viral outbreaks are common during the summer so make sure children are vaccinated.

Summer may be known as a fun season but you'll never know the diseases lurking around.

Take care!
