With the summer months come unique health hazards, such as dehydration, sunburn, food poisoning, accidents associated with landscaping tools and fireworks, allergic reactions to insect bites, and water-related accidents. Additionally, there are a host of safety issues inherent during the summer in urban locations that the panel will address.
