Hot temps next week equal summer pool time fun. Be mindful of pool safety. Know the symptoms and signs of dry drowning.

Dry drowning occurs when a person inhales water, causing the vocal cords to spasm and close.
It can happen even after a person has exited the water, often within 24 hours.
Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, coughing, chest pain, or unusual behavior.
It is different from "wet drowning," where water fills the lungs.
Immediate medical attention is crucial if symptoms arise after water exposure.
Prevention includes supervising children closely around water and teaching them to swim.

When the United Nations General Assembly declared World Day, it drew attention to the urgent need for our communities to provide life-saving solutions to prevent drowning. came up with a simple idea: Organizations work with their local authorities to illuminate landmarks in blue light during the evening every July25th. Today is an important day to continue those efforts and ensure that everyone has the resources they need to stay safe. Some ways to observe World Drowning Prevention Day include:
💧Raising awareness and water safety education
💧Starting a local water safety coalition
💧Donating to your local water safety organizations
💧Learning and implementing NDPA’s 5 Layers of Protection!
Do your part to prevent drowning by following and visiting ndpa.org about how you can help reduce the numbers!

A rash is a common sign of Lyme disease—70–80% of people with it get one. But not having a rash doesn’t mean you’re automatically in the clear. You might still experience fever, chills, headache, tiredness, muscle and joint aches, or swollen lymph nodes. If you've had a recent tick bite and notice any of these symptoms, reach out to your doctor.

If you are experiencing either, seek help immediately. Drink plenty of water if you have to be outside. Wear loose fitting clothes, and take several breaks in the shade. Be weather aware and stay safe.

Scrap regrowing is such a fun kitchen project 🌱 A few tips I’ve learned:
🧅 Green onions, leeks, and lemongrass are some of the easiest
🥬 Romaine, cabbage, celery, and bok choy can push out fresh leaves
🥕 Carrot and beet tops regrow greens, not new roots
💧 Change the water often so it doesn’t get slimy
☀️ Give them bright light, but avoid hot direct sun on the jar
🪴 Move stronger starts into soil if you want them to last longer
I treat these as bonus greens, but it’s a great beginner-friendly way to reuse scraps.
