Cars can get extremely hot in a matter of minutes, which can cause death, even with a window cracked open, according to the CDC. The CDC also gives the following tips to ensure a child isn't left in a car:
To remind yourself that a child is in the car, keep a stuffed animal in the car seat. When the child is buckled in, place the stuffed animal in the front with the driver. When leaving your car, check to be sure everyone is out of the car. Do not overlook any children who have fallen asleep in the car.Drinking lots of water is key to keeping your body cooled down, though the CDC recommends trying to avoid cold water, as it can cause cramps.
The CDC says to avoid alcohol and sugary drinks. The CDC also says that if you're sweating, you're likely losing salts. So, drink a sports drink or salt tablet to replenish your salt levels.According to the CDC, sunburn can cause you to become dehydrated and makes it harder for your body to cool down. Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or above 30 minutes before heading out the door and reapply as recommended in the product's instructions.
