Don't suffer from a summer disease

Summer sun is not always synonymous to summer fun. We should also take precautionary measures as we expose ourselves under the blazing heat.

Health experts in the province of Aklan informed the public that aside from sunburn, there are certain conditions that proliferate due to a tremendous increase in the temperature of the environment. These include measles and sore eyes. Heat strokes and dehydration are also common in summer, and these can be life-threatening to many individuals.

The local health sector advice people to drink more water, and to avoid too much sun exposure. It is also recommended to see a doctor for any discomforts felt and to avoid going out in public if unwell
