But without safeguards, an outdoor trip can turn sour quickly. Luckily, you can take proper precautions with just a little bit of planning. Here\u2019s what to look out for on your next outdoor trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Stay water smart<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The joys of a cool dip on a hot day can make you lose sight of how dangerous water can be. But, there are hundreds of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ccga-ca.com\/files\/library\/Life_Saving_Society_Drowning_Report_2020_Edition1.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> unintentional drowning deaths<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Canada every year. Whether you\u2019re lounging by the pool, spending the day at the beach, or jumping off the cottage dock, there are a few things to keep in mind. Even the strongest swimmer can have issues from time to time, and you never know when you might need to call your swimming buddy for help. So whether you\u2019re an ironman competitor or a beginner, never swim alone. Just as importantly, never leave children unattended in or around water. Even a kiddie pool can prove dangerous to a little one, and drop-offs, undertows, and strong currents can happen suddenly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boating is another favourite Canadian pastime with the potential for trouble. Luckily, small changes can have big impacts when it comes to water safety. Wearing a life jacket on the water whether you\u2019re in a boat, a kayak, or a seadoo is a must. And similar to drinking and driving, it\u2019s illegal to operate a boat if you\u2019re impaired by drugs or alcohol.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Beat back the mosquitoes<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing ruins a great outdoor trip faster than a swarm of bugs \u2014 especially if they\u2019re mosquitoes. Mosquitoes often cause extra anxiety these days as they can sometimes carry West Nile virus. The good news is that while some mosquitoes do carry it, the majority don\u2019t, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/public-health\/services\/diseases\/west-nile-virus\/symptoms-west-nile-virus.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">less than 1%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of those who get West Nile virus develop severe symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re worried about West Nile virus or not, however, no one likes to get bitten. You\u2019re not going to be able to stop every mosquito bite, but with a couple of tricks, you can minimize the number you get. Wear loose-fitting clothing with a tight weave like nylon or polyester, and don\u2019t scrimp on the bug repellent. For mosquitoes, you\u2019ll want to choose one with icaridin or DEET \u2014 remember to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/health-canada\/services\/about-pesticides\/insect-repellents.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">check the label<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before spraying children though, as not all products are safe for all ages.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>Stay tick-free<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the occasional mosquito bite isn\u2019t usually an issue, many people feel more squeamish about ticks. Ticks are becoming more common in many parts of the country, and can often carry <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/page\/lyme-disease?gclid=CjwKCAjw95yJBhAgEiwAmRrutEuy75A4PEuLtqei5Ouo5hyVXJxIY6XctAoxVuHOZhw5_CdVH-CNIhoCNUQQAvD_BwE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lyme disease<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 a potentially serious infection. Ticks like to hang out along the edges of trails or in wooded areas where they can hop off onto an unsuspecting meal. To avoid becoming their dinner, wear long sleeves and tuck your pants into your socks. You\u2019ll likely want to add an insect repellent as well if you\u2019ll be spending time in a known tick area. Once home, you should check yourself and any loved ones thoroughly. Ticks often end up in hidden areas like the scalp or behind the ears. They can also hitch a ride on clothing and bite you once you\u2019re home. To kill any unwanted hitchhikers, you can throw your hiking gear in the dryer for 10 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do find an attached tick, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kidshealth.org\/en\/parents\/tick-removal.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pull it out<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with tweezers or a specialized tick remover without twisting or crushing it. Any flu-like symptoms, rash, or joint pain following a tick bite should be discussed with a doctor immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Pack smart for food safety<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Packing a meal is a must for most excursions, but storing your picnic requires as much thought as planning the menu. Bacteria grow quicker in the heat, making food poisoning a greater risk once the weather warms up. Perishables can go bad pretty quickly in a hot knapsack. If your food changes colour or texture, or develops a new smell, it\u2019s time to throw it out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the summer, Health Canada recommends that you leave food out at room temperature for less than an hour. Between <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/health-canada\/services\/seasonal-food-safety\/summer-food-safety-tips.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4\u2103 and 60\u2103<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is considered the danger zone, and harmful bacteria can colonize your tuna sandwich in as little as two hours. Even if your food seems normal, if it has been out that long in that temperature range, it\u2019s better to toss it than to chance it. You can\u2019t always smell or even taste when food is unsafe. If you\u2019re packing a picnic and know you\u2019ll be out for most of the day, load it into an insulated bag or cooler, and don\u2019t cut back on the ice packs. You\u2019ll also want to prevent cross-contamination by sealing items separately in individual containers \u2013 nothing\u2019s worse than a lovely summer salad marinated in raw burger juice. Finally, practice proper hand sanitation before you dig in. If you know you won\u2019t have access to running water and soap for hand washing, be sure to bring along some hand sanitizer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting outside is one of the great joys of summer \u2014 plus, it\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmaple.ca\/blog\/2021\/07\/15\/mental-health-benefits-for-being-in-nature\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">good for your health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Make sure it stays that way by planning ahead. With some small modifications, your next outdoor trip can be fun as well as safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The information presented here is for educational purposes and is not meant to replace the advice from your medical professional.<\/i><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>When using virtual care, all medical treatment is at the sole discretion of the provider.
