There are many health conditions that may occur in the summer — more than in other seasons. Here are smart ways to protect yourself against these diseases.

Some ways to protect against potential sunburns are seeking shade when possible, covering up the skin with longer-sleeved clothing and using a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

Lyme disease is most prevalent during the summer months. Lyme disease happens when you get bitten by a tick. Ticks typically are found in areas with tall grass, so when in these kinds of spaces, wear long clothing if possible. Also, be sure to wear insect repellent and check your body for ticks after being outside. patients are usually prescribed an antibiotic treatment, and the disease is typically treated in two to four weeks, according to Cleveland Clinic. Unfortunately, bacteria likes warm weather just as we do, making food poisoning another disease to keep an eye out for this season.

If food is sitting out for hours, throw it out. If you want to keep leftovers, make sure to pack them up within a couple of hours of cooking. symptoms could last just a few hours, or they could last multiple days, depending on the severity of the condition, according to the CDC. Some of the symptoms associated with food poisoning are diarrhea, stomach pain, fever, nausea and vomiting. If you do get food poisoning, keep your body filled with fluids and electrolytes.
