Sun:
Great for outdoors - improves mood, gives us vitamin D for bone health.
Too much sun is our biggest danger: sunburn. We have a harsh sun with lots of UV light.
Easy to cause sunburn which sets us up for skin cancer later in life. NZ has one of the highest melanoma rates in the world.
Think protection: sunblock, loose long sleeves, hats, children rash tops at beach. A cloudy daywon’tprotect you.
Avoid getting burnt!

Water Quality when swimming:
Rivers, lakes, and beaches are great in summer. However hidden risk we don’t think about: contaminated water.
This can give us tummy bugs and the dreaded vomiting and diarrhea.
Key things to watch for:
Generally, avoid swimming after very heavy rain: contaminated with stormwater, sewage overflow.
Look out for signs - if it says don’t swim – don’t! – Risk of contamination is high!
Watch out for strange smells – don’t go in,
Discoloration sign be sign of run off.
Avoid pipes and culverts.

Food
Keep food safe over summer, especially in the heat.
The four C’s: clean, cook, cover and chill
Harmful bacteria live in such as salmonella live in food that is not handled properly
Keep your hands and surfaces clean, rinse fruit and vegetables
Chicken isa big problem: separate chopping board, separate knife, wash hands after handling, cook right through.
Keep cooked food chilled between 2 and 4 degrees.
Keep food covered away from flies and bugs.
Overall have a good time and stay safe!
