Austin – Summer is officially running with the approval of the summer coup on Friday, and the Ministry of Gardens and Wildlife in Texas (TPWD) issued some advice to stay safe at the Texas heat when visiting government gardens.
TPWD said that the arrival of incendiary temperatures is a risk to heat -related diseases.
TPWD said: “Last year, 44 parks reported about a total of 192 heat -related disease, with 10 of these incidents that involve pets,” TPWD said. “Texas recorded 36 heat disease last year more than 2023.”
Thermal safety tips
hydrate
“At the goal of preventing dehydration, it is important to drink at least 16 ounces of water every hour,” TPWD said. “Remember that your Freedom friends need water as well, so don’t forget to pack more.”
Wearing SPF
TPWD said: “The application of a generous amount of sun eyebrow or sunscreen before enjoying some time in the open air is a changing games,” TPWD said. “Don’t forget to re -apply every few hours, and after swimming or sweating.”
Dress accordingly
TPWD said: “Light light clothes, and loose clothes are the key,” TPWD said. “Add a hat, correct shoes, sunscreen, and wet gangs to keep the sun’s cold.”
Bring salty snacks
TPWD said: “Eating snacks maintains energy levels and replaces lost salt from sweating,” TPWD said.
Do not go alone
“It is useful to use the friend’s system and have someone with you in hot conditions so that you can take care of each other on the road,” TPWD said. “The disease -related disease is not strange to the high temperatures of Texas, so the presence of a friend to help identify early symptoms can provide you with the disease.”
Plan for the future
TPWD recommends studying the map and keeping it close.
“The service in the areas of the background countries may be unavailable, so avoid relying on your maps,” TPWD said.
According to TPWD, the average park moves two miles per hour.
TPWD said: “Give yourself a lot of time to avoid walking long during the hottest parts of the day,” TPWD said. “If necessary, do not hesitate to rest in a cold or shaded area to recover from heat.”
Share your plan.
TPWD said: “If you lose, people know where to search.”
Protect your puppy
Click the corridors during more cold times than today, so the Earth is not very hot. This protects the paws from assuming.
“If you can’t touch the sidewalk or the ground with the back of your hand for five seconds, the surface is very hot for your pet boy,” TPWD said.
The administration also said that throwing a pair of socks on pets is another way to protect the paws from the hot ground.
“Dogs are vulnerable to heating like humans, so do good habits and make sure to bring enough water and snacks to ensure your four -legged friend continues to walk a long -distance journey,” TPWD said.
