HEAT WAVE

HEAT WAVE

Hello everyone.

I just wanted to remind everyone to be sure to carry your inhaler on you at all times, especially in the widespread heat wave.  I heard on the news about a young person who dies swimming because they had an asthma attack.  They were swimming in a like or river.

This heat is hard on anyone, but those with chronic illness, like asthma, are much more suseptible to it.  

Stay safe, hydrated, and CARRY your inhaler with you.

How are you coping with the heat and what are you temps?
We hit 108 today with forcast highs above that later in the week.

God bless.

I know first hand about the heat.three years ago I wound up in the ER due to the heat. The nurse said folks with respiratory illnesses had been coming in all day, Our temp was 102, This current heat wave has the temp hovering at the century mark with no relief in sight. I take all precautions now, Mostly I stay inside in the ac,

No heat wave this year but last year it was horrible, and its very dangerous to get a heat stroke, but in Montreal they have a heat wave and humidity its horrible, and that his not a good combination for me because Im allergic to water and my own sweet so I can't do anything :(
