The sun is shining, the days are longer, and the kids are out of school.
Summer is finally here.
Unfortunately, there are certain types of illness and injuries that increase during the summer months. With families spending more time outdoors, it's helpful to take some extra precautions to ensure a safe summer. And there's no reason why your family can't enjoy time outside - as long as you take a few precautions. As you probably know, the earth's ozone layer is thinner now, letting in more UV rays. Too much exposure to UV rays can cause sunburns and may cause skin cancer over time.
