Limit exposure to pollen in and around your home 

One of the biggest offenders of allergy sufferers is Pollen, mold or other allergens that we are exposed to when we walk outside. Did you know that some plants don't release pollen? If you have a garden, choose your plants wisely, selecting geraniums, daises or even irises. These plants don't have pollen. Grass is another tough one. Most of us have grass that needs to be cut. Pollen and mold are disturbed and thrown into the air when cutting the lawn so wear a mask or get someone else to cut the grass for you. 

Finding the right time to be outside 

It can make all the difference in the world. The time of day will determine how many allergens are in the air. Watch the allergy reports and you will see that pollen counts are lower in the morning and evening hours. It is no coincidence that the winds are lower during those times too. Windy days usually mean higher pollen counts. Days that are cool and rainy usually have lower counts. Not only is the time of day important, but know your seasons.  For example, if you are allergic to cottonwood trees,  you might want to avoid spending time outside during the 2 week period they shed their seeds.  So, knowing what your allergic too can help you avoid going outside at certain times of the year.

Wearing the right clothes can protect and provide added relief 

After you have been exposed 

Dr. Hansa Bhargava recommends changing clothes and showering after you have been exposed to allergens. For example, ragweed pollen can attach to your clothes, hair or skin while outdoors. Coming inside might help but you are still potentially carrying the pollen with you. Getting out of those clothes and showering will remove the allergen from your skin and provide added relief. The sooner you do this, the quicker the relief will be. 

When all else fails, taking an over the counter antihistamine allergy medicine. This medication will provide temporary relief from itchy, watery eyes. It can also help the runny nose and scratchy throat caused by drainage.  If you know your are allergic, and plan to spend time being exposed to pollen or other allergens, you may want to consider taking the medicine before you go out.  As always, consult with your physician before taking any medications.

How to prevent Bug Bites

Insects are apart of our eco system. The are food for other insects, reptiles and small creatures and yet they too must eat and protect themselves. When you get bitten by a bug, they are either protecting themselves or looking for nourishment. Typical bites involve insects like chiggers, mosquitoes, fleas, spiders and flies.

WebMD recommends 6 ways you can prevent bug bites from occurring

• Apply insect repellent before going in an area where you will experience bugs 
• Wear light colored clothes that cover your body. 
• Avoid wearing scented lotions creams or any cosmetic or hair products 
• Keep car windows closed 
• When eating outdoors, don’t get your food out until you are ready to eat. 
• Avoid flowering plants

What is a bite or sting?

When we get a bug bite, most of the time the insects salivary fluid causing our skin to swell, turn red and become itchy. These are typical allergic reactions that can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days. While most of these bites are harmless, great caution should be taken with small children and others who may be prone to having a severe allergic reaction. In rare cases, bugs can transmit diseases like malaria or the West Nile virus.

What should you do if you are bitten by a bug?

How to treat symptoms of bug bites

• Removing any jewelry from the area of the bite or sting before swelling occurs. 
• Apply ice to the bit for 10 minutes, then remove for 10 minutes. Repeat this step. 
• Elevate the area 
• Take the appropriate pain relievers if necessary
• Take an antihistamine to help with swelling and itching 
• Apply calamine lotion or a mixture of baking soda & water to relieve itching.

Seasonal allergies 

 According to the National Institutes of Health, allergic reactions occur when your body's immune system tries to defend itself against something that's not dangerous, such as pollen or mold. These reactions take the form of cold-like symptoms, including nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing and itchy eyes. While these manifestations of allergies are minor, having something like a chronic cold can make the summer months miserable. Plus, avoiding allergy treatment can make symptoms worse and lead to more serious illnesses.

Bug bites 

 It's no secret that mosquitos love warm, humid weather - that's why they make such a widespread appearance during the hot summer months. If you're taking the kids out for a woodsy adventure or you'll be spending plenty of time around the campfire, then you'll likely run into these not-so-friendly insects. Most people are sensitive to their bites, and the allergic reaction involves itching, irritation and small red bumps. Make sure you have a Benadryl Itch Relief Stick with you to help relieve the discomfort of those bug bites. You can also use Sting Relief Pads to alleviate bug-sting pain from bees, wasps, hornets and mosquitos.

Itchiness and discomfort aren't the only problems that come with mosquito bites; these bugs can also carry diseases, such as the West Nile virus. Therefore, it's important not just to treat the bites but to also prevent them from happening in the first place. Though this isn't always a practical solution, try avoiding the outdoors in the early morning and after dusk, as this is when they are most prevalent. Otherwise, have everyone use insect repellant to ward off the mosquitos.

Make sure you know if any of the kids have bee-sting allergies. They may need injectable epinephrine prescribed from their doctor rather than just relief pads and ointment. However, some kids may not realize they are allergic to bees if they've never been stung before. In all bee- or wasp-sting cases, you'll have to spot the signs of a severe allergic reaction. If a child is stung and exhibits symptoms of anaphylaxis (a bodily reaction that can be fatal) such as vomiting, fainting, feeling of tightness in the chest and wheezing, seek medical attention immediately. Implement these allergy relief strategies to have a stress-free summer.

This is part 2 of "5 Outdoor Health Tips To Remember".  As we spend time outdoors, we wanted to highlight several important tips to help you enjoy the outdoor experience.  In part 1, we talked about heat and sun related illnesses.  This article will cover the last 3 outdoor health & safety tips which include summer allergies, insects and poisonous plants.  The reality is that any one of these can ruin our fun and potentially send us indoors or even worse, the hospital.   Let's take a closer look at how we can treat and prevent these potentially dangerous hazards.

#3 - Summer Allergies

Plants & Pollen - Weeds, grass and other plants are very active with pollen during the summer.  Most allergies can be combated by taking the counter allergy medicine. For itchiness and hives a common product like Benadryl might help. For those who are sensitive to plants and pollen, avoid areas of overgrown plants if at all possible.

Dust allergies - People with dust allergies will have an increase in symptoms due to time spent outdoors. Summer construction and the increase in humidity can increase dust activity as well. Similar to those allergic to pollen, dust allergy sufferers may require medication to stop the symptoms. Severe cases may require a doctor's diagnosis and treatment. Beyond taking medication, keeping the home clean and minimizing in home humidity can help.

Allergies due to insect bites - Insect bites are always a common occurrence during the summer due to the increase in bug activity.  Bug bites can be eased by a allergy cream or an insect wipe to help relieve the pain or itchiness.  Insect activity is at its highest during summer months. Avoiding insects is near impossible, however, using repellent and staying covered up can help prevent insect bites from happening.

#4 - Insects

Mosquitoes - These pesky insects are generally found in areas of tall grass or brush, or areas of standing water.  When mosquitoes bite, they leave itchy red bumps. Using an allergy cream or an insect wipe can help with itchiness and pain.  Using a mosquito repellant can help in keeping them away before they bite. Another good way to keep mosquitoes at bay is to spray areas of activity such as the backyard with a insect repellent as well.

Bees - Bees can live just about anywhere, but they most often are found in wooded areas or near homes and parks.  Bee stings hurt and if you're allergic, they can be dangerous. If allergic to bees, avoidance is the best policy. If a bee sting occurs using a sting wipe may help. If it's a severe reaction seek medical help immediately.  Those with known severe reactions should always keep an EpiPen® close by.  Bee hives and nests should be avoided until a professional can rid the area. Sprays can be used as an effective deterrent as well. 

Ticks - Ticks are generally found in tall grasses and wooded areas. They sometimes attach themselves to animals so it's best to be aware of your pets when they come in from outdoors. Ticks can be avoided using a bug spray or wipes. If a tick attaches to the skin they should be carefully removed using tweezers making sure to get all of the bug.   Just like bees and mosquitoes, ticks can be dealt with using repellents. When outdoors keeping covered up as much as possible can limit tick activity. See our helpful article about Ticks & Lyme disease here.

#5 - Summer Plants

Poison Ivy - Poison ivy is a plant that is known for its three leaves and can be found in wooded areas and among other wild plants.  If there is contact with poison ivy, wash the entire affected area with soap and warm water as soon as possible. There are also products designed to protect and neutralize the oils that cause this severe irritation.  If contracted, special washing solutions can help as well.  Make sure to wash all clothing worn as well.  Avoid uncertain plants and cover up when spending time in wooded areas. 

Poison Oak - According to healthline.com “Poison oak rash is an allergic reaction to the leaves or stems of the western poison oak plant. The plant looks like a leafy shrub and can grow up to six feet tall. In shady areas, the plant can grow like a climbing vine.”  When treating poison oak, follow the steps taken in treating poison ivy.  Just like poison ivy, the best prevention is avoidance. Covering exposed skin and using a pre-contact ivy product such as Ivy X Pre-Contact Poison Oak & Ivy wipes will also help avoid contracting a sever rash or blisters.

Certain vegetation can have an adverse effect on human beings. In order to prepare for this kind of toxic environment, a company or individual needs to take steps to prevent and be ready to treat possible exposure.

Identification
Poisonous plants emit a sap oil causing irritation and allergic reaction when it contacts bare skin. The CDC identifies poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac as the three most common types of poisonous plants workers are exposed to.

Poison ivy - Poison ivy is identifiable by its three shiny leaves. Typically it is green in color, but it may grow yellow flowers and white berries. In the U.S., it usually grows in hairy rope-like vine in the East, Midwest and South. It can found as shrubs in the North, West and parts of Canada.

Poison Ivy has a distinctive three-leaf pattern

Other plants can be poisonous if eaten. While this might not be as great a risk to your human workers, farms may have livestock and camps could have horses and dogs. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has a visual guide to identify plants animals should not ingest.

Prevention and personal protective equipment
There are certain procedures and equipment that should be in place when working in areas that could lead to poisonous plant exposure. Make sure employees have the proper PPE for outdoor projects.

Cover up - Exposed skin reacts to plants, so wear long sleeve shirts and long pants. Workers should make use of boots and work gloves - thick strong gloves that won't develop holes from consistent labor.

Use a barrier cream - When working around vegetation, it is a good practice to apply a barrier cream first. Barrier creams contain bentoquatam​, which prevents the plant's oil from being absorbed by the skin.

Clean tools - Always thoroughly clean tools that may have had contact with poisonous plants by using rubbing alcohol or soap. The CDC warns rash-causing oils can stay active for five years on a surface. Use disposable gloves during the cleaning process.

Do not burn plants - If you are looking to remove vegetation, do not burn it. Breathing in the smoke from poisonous plants can be much more dangerous than skin contact.

If, for some reason, you have no choice but to burn poisonous plants, make sure your workers are outfitted correctly. They need to wear gloves and goggles. Workers should be provided with a particulate respirator to prevent breathing in the fumes.

Treatment
If anyone is exposed to a poisonous plant, the American Academy of Dermatology suggests the following procedure:

• Clean - Immediately clean the exposed area to remove sap oil. Use alcohol, degreasing soap or a poison plant wash. Wash all possible areas that might have made contact (don't forget under your fingernails). Clean clothing and other items that could have been exposed to avoid spreading irritation.
• Apply care - You may treat the infected area with cold compresses, calamine lotion and hydrocortisone cream. These products should be available on-site. In the event of severe rash or allergic reaction, call 911 and seek medical attention.
• Further treatment - Do not scratch the infected area and leave blisters alone. To relieve itching, you can take short lukewarm baths. You may add baking soda or colloidal oatmeal, available at drugstores, to the bath for further relief. An antihistamine pill could also be taken to relieve itching. If the rash does not improve after 10 days, contact a dermatologist.

If you take every available precaution, you may limit injuries to your workers. When it comes to poisonous plants, you need to be able to identify potential problems, safeguard against threats and be ready to manage exposure.

Summer Trips & Activities that Need First Aid Kits
It may be best to build a custom kit that will suit all traveling needs this summer. If multiple getaways and outings are planned then one big all encompassing kit might be a simpler solution. Another option, if you’d like to pack lighter, is to assemble first aid kits for each adventure you take.
Some activities to build kits for this summer:

Seasonal Risks
In addition to assessing any potential illnesses and injuries based on your travel this summer, you should also consider seasonal risks. Outdoor activities in the summer are vastly different from outdoor activities in the winter. Weather and climate can vary greatly which not only alter your events but also your elemental exposure. (IE: Emergency heat blankets are most likely not going to be needed in your summer first aid kit.) Consider a pre-built outdoor kit or assembling a custom kit keeping seasonality in mind.

Some first aid essentials for the summer season:

Restocking First Aid Kits
This is a great time of year to go through any current emergency kits to ensure they are properly stocked and in good condition. Many items in emergency kits have an expiration date that is typically 3-5 years after their manufacture date.There may also be some items that have become damaged by frequent use, exposure to the air or moisture. Take note of items that are running low, are completely out or need to be added in. (IE: There may have been an emergency situation in the previous year where a specific item was needed and not available.) It is best practice to replenish first aid supplies right after full use so that your kit is complete at all times. 

Some common medical emergency supplies with expiration dates:

No matter what amazing vacation is planned with family or friends this summer, it will be made better with a well thought out and well curated emergency medical kit. Relaxing and enjoying these special trips with loved ones is easier when we have what we need in case of the unexpected.

There are 3 agencies that establish and enforce the workplace first aid requirements. OSHA is the United States Government Agency that establishes and enforces the rules & law for first aid. Back in the late 1970's, OSHA established Federal regulations for medical services and first aid. 29CFR 1910.151 summarizes the circumstances, people and supplies required for first aid. "In the absence of an infirmary, clinic, or hospital in near proximity to the workplace which is used for the treatment of all injured employees, a person or persons shall be adequately trained to render first aid. Adequate first aid supplies shall be readily available." With this law in place performance requirements need to be maintained and modified. This is where ANSI (The American National Standards Institute) and the ISEA (International Safety Equipment Association) come in. The ISEA represents all facets of the health & safety universe including manufacturers, volunteer organizations, health experts and distribution to establish minimum performance requirements for first aid kits (the actual container) and the supplies that go in them.

Why are changes being made to the ANSI Requirements?

The 2015 revised standard updates and expands the 2009 standard. It classifies first aid kits based on the assortment and quantity of first aid supplies meant to deal with most types of injuries and sudden illnesses encountered in the workplace. Major and minor wounds, minor burns, sprains, strains and eye injuries were considered. These types and quantities of supplies were based upon a review of increased workplace incidents requiring first aid treatment as well as international standards & current practices in treating injuries.

What are the changes?

1. The 2015 revision introduces two classes of first aid kits.  Class A - Contents designed to deal with most common types of workplace injuries Class B - Broader range and quantity of supplies for more complex or risk environments.
2. New required supplies have been added to the list.  Many "recommended" items in the previous 2009 standard are now required for both of the newly designated A & B class kits in the 2015 standard. 
3. Quantities have been modified based on the number of employees and types of injury Many of the supplies Additional supplies 
4. Scissors are to be included in both classes of kits 
5. A splint and a tourniquet are both required for a Class B first aid kit.
6. Unitized kit requirements Specific requirements for unitized first aid kits have been removed from the 2015 standard

How do I determine what Class I fall under?

• Risk - Does the risk and task load of the work enviromnet influence the number or severity of injuries?
• Severity - What type of injuries can be anticipated and their seriousness
• Likelihood - What is the likelihood that the employees may be injured and need to access supplies?

• Number of employees - How many employees are exposed to injury on the job.
• Physical layout - How far away are the supplies from an injured employee? It may be appropriate to locate several first aid kits throughout your facility for convenience and accessibility. This may also help provide enough supplies for larger organizations.
• Remoteness - How far away is the nearest emergency services. These same considerations can be taken into account when determining if a first aid kit should be augmented with additional supplies, as noted in the appendix of the standard.

Are there any special considerations for unitized kits?

These rules have changed. Supply requirements for unitized kit are the same as a class A or B. Guidance on color-coding of first aid supplies for these configurations of kits is as follows:

• Blue - Antiseptics 
• Yellow - Bandages 
• Red - Burn Treatment 
• Orange - PPE 
• Green - Miscellaneous

Are container types still the same?

Yes, performance requirements and classifications of container type I, type II, type III, type IV are the same.

Does the standard say how often to inspect supplies?

Yes. Section B.1 "Ongoing Maintenance" says first aid kits should be inspected frequently for: 

1. Stock quantity levels to ensure adequate available supplies 
2. Completeness - to ensure all required items are in the kit 
3. Safe and usable condition of supplies 
4. Expiration dates inspected & replaced if beyond date

Are there other supplies I should or can include in my first aid kits over and above the ANSI minimum requirements?

Yes, each work environment is unique and is expected that a first aid kit containing the minimum required first aid supplies will be "augmented" (to make greater in size or value) with additional items or quantities of required supplies based on specific hazards existing in a workplace environment. For example, your environment may require more bandages or burn dressings because there are more workers with tasks having a higher risk of cuts or burns. The selection of such items should be based on the recommendation and consultation of a person competent in first aid and cognizant of the hazards and on the number of people found in the workplace. Federal, state and local requirements should be consulted, where appropriate.

What additional items are recommended by ANSI?

• Augment kits with the following first aid supplies, as applicable:
• Low dose aspirin used to treat suspect heart attacks 
• Hemostatic agent for individuals with compromised clotting or uncontrollable bleeding 
• Electrolyte replacement for heat-stress related injuries 
• Glucose replacement for diabetic or hypoglycemic episodes 
• Analgesic (oral and/or topical)/anti-inflammatory 
• Hydrocortisone for itchiness and skin-related reactions including rashes 
• Antihistamine for allergic reactions Foil blanket for treating shock and/or cold-stress related injuries

How are kit containers classified in the ANSI standard?

There are four considerations used by ANSI to determine the "Type" classification of a first aid container.  They are:

1. Portability 
2. Ability to be wall mounted 
3. Water resistance 
4. Corrosion & impact resistant

What do the ANSI Type I - Type IV container classifications mean?

The kit containers are classified by portability, ability to be mounted, resistance to water, and corrosion and impact resistance. Four types are identified:

Type I: Intended for use in stationary, indoor applications where kit contents have minimal potential for damage due to environmental factors and rough handling. These kits are not intended to be portable and should have a means for mounting in a fixed position. Some applications for Type I first aid kits are general indoor use, office use or use in a manufacturing facility. First aid cabinets would generally fall into this type.

Type II: Intended for use in portable indoor applications where the potential for damage due to environmental factors and rough handling is minimal. These kits should be equipped with a carrying handle. Some applications for Type II first aid kits are general indoor use, or use in office or manufacturing environments.

Type III: Intended for portable use in mobile indoor and/or outdoor settings where the potential for damage due to environmental factors is not probable. Kits should have the means to be mounted and have a water resistant seal. Typical applications include general indoor use and sheltered outdoor use.

Type IV: Intended for portable use in mobile industries and/or outdoor applications where the potential for damage due to environmental factors and rough handling is significant. Typical applications include the transportation industry, utility industry, construction industry and the armed forces.

Do I need to have a list permanently attached to my ANSI approved kit? 

Yes

• Labels and markings must be legible and permanent. 
• Each kit and/or location must be visibly marked. 
• A specific formatted ANSI Class A and B label must be adhered onto the container

My first aid kit kit currently meets the ANSI Z308.1-2009 minimum requirements, what do I need to do?

Update your first aid kit now.  The ANSI standard has been updated several times since it was created back in 1998. The most recent update was approved June 17, 2015 and goes into effect June 17, 2016. All workplace first aid kits should be updated to the most recent standard by June 17th.

Is there an official list that tells me what I need to put in my first aid kit? 

Yes, the list below represents the minimum required supplies for either Class A or Class B first aid kits.  Here is the official list from ANSI:

• SBS 40 Medicated Skin Cream - Uses a silicone free, non-greasy formula. Made from a blend of six emollients to sooth, moisten, and relief skin of dryness, itching, and rashes.
