Sun:
Great! I hate the grey of winter. Please wear sunscreen (SPF 15 or greater). What a great time to get outside and exercise the winter blues away!
Allergies & Asthma:
Nasal Allergies - It is better to start your nasal allergy medication before your nose runs like a faucet (Zyrtec, Claritin, Nasal Spray).
Mold - Mold increases in the spring with all the april showers. Watch out!
Asthma - If this is a time your wheezing starts, be ready and use your controller (preventative medications) before you cough or wheeze. Call for refills if you are out of your medications and schedule an Asthma Check-Up.
Accidents:
Accidents increase in the spring/summer.
Parents review:

Helmets save lives - WEAR ONE!!!
Helmets need to be worn when you:
- ride bikes
- skate board
- ride 4 - Wheeler (Oh heck, they are never safe)
Poison Ivy:
Know what it looks like before it gets you.
Minor Cuts:
Clean minor cuts with soap and water. Apply an antibiotic ointment to prevent infection.
Bug Bites:
Bugs bite more in late evenings. Wear long sleeves and pants to help prevent getting bitten. If it's to late, hydrocortisone and an antihistamine can help with itching.
SO move out of the way Groundhog - We are ready to enjoy Spring!
