DO YOU NEED TO<br />

SEE A DOCTOR<br />

FOR A SUNBURN<br />

Even if you regularly apply sunscreen before going outdoors and wear<br />

protective clothing, all it takes is a little too much time before reapplication<br />

or one day of forgetting to wear sunscreen to wind up with a nasty sunburn.<br />

The signs of a sunburn will be evident before the damage fully reveals itself,<br />

as the burn won’t likely sting, hurt or peel until later. That means that a little<br />

redness now could be much more painful in a couple hours. If you have a more<br />

serious sunburn, the pain and swelling may keep you from sitting or lying<br />

down comfortably and it could have you feeling extra tired and worn down<br />

after a day in the sun. When a sunburn becomes so painful, you might wonder<br />

if you need to see a doctor to treat your skin.<br />

Signs of Severe Damage<br />

While most sunburns can be treated with at-home care, it is necessary to see a<br />

doctor if the burn is more severe. Like any severe burns, excessive sunburn can<br />

cause damage to the deeper layers of the skin and dramatically raise the risk of<br />

infection, due to open sores and blisters. Let’s look at some signs you should<br />

bring to the attention of a doctor if you have a sunburn:<br />

Blisters - Small blisters are no need for alarm - though they do indicate that<br />

you’ve gotten more severe sun damage and should take extra steps to stay<br />

covered until the skin heals. When you have more than 20% coverage of<br />

blisters, however, you will want to head to an urgent care facility or ER for burn<br />

treatment.<br />

Chills or fever - Chills or a high fever, especially in children affected by<br />

sunburns, can be a sign of overexposure and heat illness and they might also<br />

indicate infection. The body will raise its temperature to fight off infection,<br />

so a fever accompanied by open blisters should not be left to chance without<br />

medical care.<br />

Wooziness - Dizziness and wooziness are signs that a sunburn is more serious<br />

and that the sun has taken its toll.<br />

First Aid for Your Sunburn<br />

One mistake that people often make is assuming that once a burn shows<br />

up, the damage is done, so it’s safe to stay out in the sun. The truth is that<br />

a sunburn will continue getting worse as long as you remain exposed. In<br />

fact, damage may accelerate, because the skin has already sustained harm.<br />

If possible, get out of the sun as soon as you see any redness or tenderness<br />

develop. If you cannot retreat indoors or to the shade, put on more sunscreen<br />

and cover up with a hat and more clothing.<br />

You may notice that a sunburn continues to feel worse even after you get out<br />

of the sun. Cooling the skin down with a cool shower or bath can offer some<br />

instant relief and over-the-counter NSAIDs like ibuprofen and Tylenol will<br />

reduce swelling and pain over a longer period. After a shower, apply some aloe<br />

or soothing lotion - those containing oatmeal can further reduce redness and<br />

irritation on the skin.<br />

What’s the Damage?<br />

Even a very painful sunburn will feel mostly better within a week or so, which<br />

might lead you to wonder if a sunburn is even that bad. What you must consider<br />

is the lingering after effects of sun damage, which can include cell damage that<br />

leads to premature aging, skin cancer and a rough, leathery appearance of the<br />

skin later in life. One sunburn is not likely to leave a substantial mark in the<br />

long-term, but repeated damage can have lifelong effects.<br />

we utilize animals, including horses, dogs, goats, pigs, lambs and rabbits<br />

organization, we are constantly looking for extra help around the<br />

farm. Therefore, Special CHEERS would like to welcome all high school<br />

and college-aged students interested in working with both children and<br />

animals to volunteer after school, on the weekends or seasonally (i.e.,<br />

applying for a volunteer position at our facility.<br />

FOSTER CHILDREN: PREPARATION<br />

FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL)<br />

When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent.<br />

That’s difficult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities<br />

arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have to figure out<br />

how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole month.<br />

Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program to help<br />

prepare for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The year-long<br />

course culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National Council<br />

for Jewish Women (NCJW). The course is held at Junior Achievement’s<br />

BizTown, using computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses.<br />

need to provide. The “love” just comes naturally.<br />

START THE NEW YEAR WITH A NEW<br />

BEST FRIEND AND FAMILY MEMBER!<br />

Loving Arms Pet Placement has an assortment of wonderful dogs and cats<br />

hoping for their forever homes. We have all different types of small to large<br />

dogs, mixed breeds and many wonderful cats to choose from.<br />

We are a foster-based rescue for dogs and cats. If you are not ready to<br />

commit to adopting a dog or cat permanently, the animals also need<br />

foster families. Besides providing food, water and a safe place to sleep,<br />

foster families socialize the animals so they are people friendly. Include<br />

the animal in your daily home life inside your home. Get to know them as<br />

individuals so you can share personality traits, likes/dislikes, anecdotes.<br />

Treat the animal like your own and train him/her, if possible.<br />

Although you may feel sadness when your foster animal is adopted, please know<br />

that your efforts helped to prepare the cat or dog for his/her forever home.<br />

Visit Loving Arms Pet Placement website at www.lovingarmspetplacement.<br />

com or visit us at Petsmart on Highway 6 and FM 529 each Saturday from<br />

Gardening Tips<br />

for <strong>July</strong><br />

• Plant fall flowering annuals where your spring annuals<br />

have bloomed out. Plant seeds like zinnia, marigold,<br />

cosmos, petunia and portulaca so you’ll have color until<br />

frost. Don’t let seedlings dry out.<br />

• In summer, prune roses to keep them in shape.<br />

Continue black spot and insect treatments. Water 2”<br />

once per week.<br />

• Remove spent crepe myrtle flowers to prolong bloom<br />

production.<br />

• Weeds rob plants of valuable water, nutrients--remove<br />

them.<br />

• Great sun/heat-lovers include coral honeysuckle,<br />

coreopsis, lantana, oleanders and hamelia.<br />

• Fertilize flowers lightly, if at all; too hot for heavy<br />

feedings.<br />

• Water your lawn longer but less frequent. Deep water<br />

of about 2 - 3” per week forces plant roots to grow down,<br />

instead of sideways into sunbaked upper soil levels. Use<br />

a bowl in your yard to measure during waterings.<br />
