We want to wish you a safe Fourth of July. To keep it that way, remember these tips:
Wear sunscreen and a hat.
Use insect repellent. Don’t tease bees and wasps (good advice especially for kids–that’s how I got stung several times; when my brother and cousin were teasing a nest).
Don’t attempt to relight fireworks that do not go off. Approach them with caution and douse with water.
Don’t let children play with fireworks. There should always be adult supervision, especially for teenagers.
Designate a sober driver or call a cab if partaking in alcoholic beverages.
Don’t leave food made with mayonnaise or eggs out in the heat. Put them on ice and if food sits out for several hours–toss it.
Wear a helmet when biking (bicycle or motorcycle).
Enjoy the holiday!
