The very young and elderly are especially vulnerable to the heat and heat-related illnesses, according to Karen Kim of the Mount Rainier Chapter, which includes Mason County. She made the point that, as is the case when it comes to all dan- gerous weather conditions, pre- vention and preparation are the keys to avoiding tragedy.

Knowing what to do to stay safe during hot weather can save a life." skin, and there may be change in consciousness, nausea, dizzi- ness or headaches. "The body temperature can rise so high that brain dam- age and death may result if the body is not cooled quickly," Kim said. PET OWNERS should be especially vigilant for signs of heat stroke in their animals. Symptoms of heat stroke in animals can include sluggish and non-responsive demeanor, bright red or dry tongue and gums, vomiting or diarrhea, heavy panting, or a high heart rate. Never leave a dog in a car, even for a few minutes. "Many people include their pets in outdoor activities, but animals, like humans, can easi- ly overheat during the hot sum- mer months," Kim said.
