Beware of Working Outdoors in High Temperatures

Summer daytime temperatures in Red Bluff, California, have consistently climbed to from 95F to 108F the past month. 

Last Friday, I worked hard outdoors all day.  The hard work and high temperatures over- stressed my 70 year old body.  I needed to rest indoors all Saturday from 11 am, and plan to do the same today. 

Extra water and minerals are important to use during these hot days.  However, older persons need to be sensible about how much vigorous activity can be done in high temperatures. 

Be careful and stay healthy!
