MAY IS SKIN CANCER ☀️ AWARENESS MONTH!
‘Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, with over 2 million Americans diagnosed with skin cancer each year. In fact, 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. It is estimated that nearly 9,500 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with skin cancer every day. People of all colors and races can get skin cancer.
…
Regular self-skin exams and a yearly professional examination help people find early skin cancers. The most important signs to look for: ABCDE of melanoma.

A: Asymmetry (one half is unlike the other half.)
B: Border (irregular, scalloped or poorly defined borders)
C: Color (varied from one area to another; has shades of tan, brown or black, or is sometimes white, red, or blue.
D: Diameter (more than 6 mm or the size of pencil eraser)
E: Evolving (changing in size, shape or color)

Any spot that looks different from all the others or that is changing, itching or bleeding needs to be checked.

Prevention is better than medicine: Always remember that sun exposure is the most preventable risk factor for all skin cancer including melanoma. Always seek shade and wear protective clothing ( long sleeved shirt, pants, wide brim hat and sunglasses when possible), apply water-resistant broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF30 or more, reapply the sun screen every 2 hours even when cloudy and also after sweating or swimming. Avoid tanning beds. …’

🐝 May is Allergy Awareness Month! 🐝

There are many different types of allergies, some more severe than others. An allergy that results in an anaphylactic reaction requires immediate medical attention.

An anaphylactic allergy can turn the most mundane tasks into stressful situations. An otherwise fun hike can require careful planning and precautions if you’re allergic to wasp or bee stings; eating meals prepared by others can be stressful if you’re severely allergic to peanuts, milk, or any other food.

For people with anaphylactic allergies, an epinephrine injection—like the popular brand EpiPen auto-injector, is a life-saving and necessary prescription drug that should be carried at all times.

Our pharmacists recommend:
🐝 Always carrying an epi-pen within date.
🐝 Refilling your prescription several weeks before the expiration date listed.
🐝 Staggering your pick-up times so that your EpiPens don’t expire all at once.

Have you checked on your epi-pens this year?

Thank you teachers!!! 👩‍🏫🍎✏️📚🚌✂️📓👨🏻‍🏫

No matter where we are in life, a teacher influenced us. They continue to impact our lives every day, too! When we meet new employees with a wealth of skills and abilities, a teacher helped shaped them. Every new business owner, doctor, engineer, or nurse can name a teacher who inspired them. Every one of us has at least one teacher in mind who encouraged and motivated us during our education.
