Common Summer Diseases
Prickly heat rashes
During summers, Prickly heat rash is a common skin problem amid children and adults.
This typically results when a person sweats too much.
Skin reddening, dryness, irritation are the visible signs of skin rash.
Rashes are one of the common summer diseases. Apply
talcum powder to avoid sweat accumulation in folds of skin and also try to clean these areas frequently.

Heat stroke is a serious condition. If untreated, it may prove fatal.
If you encounter a headache, vomiting, cramps, weakness, drying of skin,
rapid heart rate, high body temperature or shallow breathing,
it’s pretty possible you’re experiencing a heat stroke.
Drink adequate liquids. Additionally, staying in cooler areas helps avoid heat stroke conditions.

Eating contaminated food and unsafe drinking habits can lead to diarrhoea.
To keep away from diarrhoea, make sure that you drink water only after
boiling it and wash vegetables thoroughly before and after slicing them
