On Aug. 12, hundreds of people gathered at Lake Worth Beach to raise aware- ness of toxic algae along Flor- ida’s shores as part of a state- wide event dubbed “Hands Along the Water.” The sea- waters along both coasts of the state have been affected by water releases from Lake Okeechobee. The west coast also has been plagued by a red tide outbreak that has shut down beaches and left scores of fish, marine mammals and sea turtles dead along its shores. ■

______PALM BEACH GARDENS MEDICAL CENTER
OMETIMES TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING CAN BE A BAD THING, such as too much sun. Exposure to the sun helps plants grow, supplies energy, and helps the body produce vitamin D for strong bones. But too much sun can lead to a number of heat-related illnesses, some S of which can be potentially life-threatening. Normally, the body can cool itself by sweating. But in several situations, and for certain people, this just isn’t enough. High humidity, staying out in the heat too long and exercising too much for your age or physical condi- tion can make the body temperature rise to dangerous levels. Other risk factors for heat-related illness include being under the age of four or over age 65, and being obese, ill or on certain medications. There are several types of heat-related illnesses. Sunburn occurs when the skin becomes red and unusually warm after sun exposure. The skin also may later blister and peel. Heat rash may appear as a red cluster of pimples or small blisters, usually on the neck and upper chest, in the groin area, under the breasts and in elbow creases. Heat cramps can cause heavy sweating as well as painful spasms in the abdomen, legs and arms. Heat exhaustion results in heavy sweating, pale skin, muscle cramps, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea or vom- iting, and fainting.
