Even short periods of high temperatures can be hazardous. Those especially at risk during heat and smog related weather conditions include older adults (over 65 yrs), infants and young children, and those with chronic heart or lung disease, including asthma. Parents, coaches and others supervising children should be aware of the health risks during a heat alert. Anyone who experiences symptoms of heat-induced ill- ness, such as rapid breathing, weakness or fainting, headache, or confusion, should seek medical attention right away, the health dept. says. People can avoid heat related illness by staying out of the hot sun or heat, and going to air-conditioned sites (e.g. malls, community centres). They should also avoid strenuous outdoor activity and, if possible, reschedule sports prac- tices and jogging times. Drink lots of water and natural fruit juices (avoid alcohol, coffee, cola).
