 Important Announcements
Protect Yourself from Extreme Heat
Summertime activity, whether on the playing field or the construction site, must be balanced with measures that aid the body's cooling mechanisms and prevent heat-related illness. People suffer heat-related illness when their bodies are unable to compensate and properly cool themselves. The body normally cools itself by sweating. But under some conditions, sweating just isn't enough. In such cases, a person's body temperature rises rapidly. Very high body temperatures may damage the brain or other vital organs.

Improve Your Health While Enjoying the Season's Colorful Produce
Summer is a great time to enjoy everything the season has to offer including an abundance of fresh, tasty produce at its peak. Eating fruits and vegetables of different colors gives your body a wide range of valuable nutrients, like fiber, folate, potassium, and vitamins A and C. Take advantage of locally grown fruits and vegetables by visiting farmers markets in your area. The Lillington Farmers Market is open every Wednesday from 2:00pm-5:30pm on the lawn of the Governmental Complex. For more information on fruits and vegetables, click on the title.
Summer Grilling-Food Safety

Most people do not think about food borne illness until they become ill from unknowingly eating contaminated food. The warmer weather conditions may be ideal for outdoor grilling, but it also provides a perfect environment for bacteria and other pathogens in food to multiply rapidly. Safe handling, cooking and storage are essential in preventing food borne illnesses and keeping your family safe this grilling season. See the Food Safety downloads box below or click on the title to view the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention web site.

Bats in Your Attic? Be Aware of Rabies, Health Risks
During the height of summer and mosquito season, bats flying through the night sky are typically a welcome sight. But when bats venture indoors, it may be a different story. While the insect-eating mammals are very important to maintaining ecosystems worldwide, they also can transmit rabies and respiratory disease to humans. For more information see the Bats and Rabies downloads box or click on the link.
