Staying Healthy This Spring and Summer

man, woman and child holding hands on seashoreNow that we are entering a post-COVID-19 world, your ability to get outdoors and travel will soon become a lot easier. However, as you plan your spring and summer vacations, you still must keep health and safety in mind. Failing to do so could put you in harm’s way, and while you might have health insurance available, it is still imperative that you do all you can to protect yourself.

How do you keep yourself safe when hot weather and vacation risks threaten? What care should you seek when problems develop?

Common Summertime Health Risks

If you are planning to be outdoors a lot this summer, then consider the health or safety risks that might threaten you during this time. These might include common social and environmental hazards, which might include:

  • Animal or bug bites, and stings. These bring threats of infection, allergic reaction and more.
  • Heat-related illnesses. Sunburn, sun poisoning, heat stroke and other reactions might lead to significant internal and external injury.
  • Dehydration due to both physical activity and increased humidity.
  • Sports injuries like broken bones and stress injuries.
  • Water-related injuries including drowning, hypothermia, pneumonia, aspiration and more.

Not to mention, standard illness risks can beckon at any time of the year, not just during the winter. Different interactions might always lead to colds, viruses and even the flu. So, how do you lower your risk of getting sick?

Preventing Summer Illness

You probably don’t think much about the risk of getting sick when you get out in the sun. However, you should keep a few common safety practices in mind, nonetheless. It’s more responsible to do so, and healthier for you in the end.

Make sure you have common necessities like bug spray, sunscreen, hats, water and snacks available with you when you are traveling or spending time outdoors. By being able to turn to these items as needed, you’ll reduce the risk of a sudden onset of illness. Additionally, if you plan to take part in special activities, consider whether you will need special equipment or safety materials in order to do so.

As long as you participate in any activity safely, then you have a much lower risk of getting hurt or sick. Of course, the better you take care of yourself in all aspects of your life, the lower your chances of getting sick during any type of activity. Don't forget to wash your hands, eat a balanced diet and get plenty of sleep.

If you need to seek medical attention this summer, turn to your health insurance plan. It will usually cover some or all the costs receiving care, with a few exceptions. If you ever have questions about where to get care, contact our agency or the insurance company.
