Answer to Question 1

Individuals affected by heat exhaustion should replenish lost fluid by drinking water or a sports drink while being cooled with cold towels and cold water immersion. Equipment such as football pads and heavy clothing should be removed.. The athlete should lie down in a cool, shaded place and should be withdrawn from further activity for the remainder of the day. If the athlete does not recover fully within 30 minutes or seems to be getting worse, activate EMS.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
