Summer Safety With DealDash

Everyone loves summer, but with all of the fun comes extra opportunities for accidents. DealDash would like to remind you of some helpful safety tips.

Sunblock

No matter what your skin tone, you should always wear sunblock if you are going to be outside in the sun for an extended period of time. Along with sunblock it’s also a great idea to wear a hat as well.

Pool Safety

The number one rule of pool safety is never swim alone. Be sure to take breaks and stay hydrated while you are swimming – you might think that you won’t get dehydrated because you are literally floating in water, but you need to keep drinking water, especially if you are swimming for exercise.

If you are bringing a child to the pool with you to swim be sure that you don’t take your eyes off of them for a second. Please leave your phone in your bag and pay attention to the child, as it really only takes a moment for disaster to happen when you are around water, especially if the child isn’t a strong swimmer.

Avoid the Bugs

If you are going out in the evening hours that is prime time for mosquitos. Be sure to put on insect repellant so you don’t end up with bites. Mosquitos can carry lots of diseases such as West Nile Virus.

Fireworks Safety

Please avoid buying fireworks to use at home. Fireworks are great fun to watch, but can be very dangerous in the hands of your average person. Check out a community fireworks display this summer instead. Or you could always just stay in and play DealDash and see your fireworks when you win!

Sports

No matter what the activity, be it bike riding, skating, or using a scooter be sure that you and your children always wear a helmet. All is takes is one accident to turn into a catastrophe.

I hope that you found these safety tips useful. If you’re looking for some things to help spice up your summer, how about a new bike or bike helmet from DealDash? You can check them out at this link right here. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!
