It's one more day in a stretch of extreme heat, and one more day of looking for ways to cool off.
Perth County's Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Miriam Klassen explains why grabbing a beer can do more harm than good:
Symptoms of heat exhaustion include profuse sweating, weakness, nausea, vomiting, headache, lightheadedness, and muscle cramps.
Places to cool off:
PERTH COUNTY:
North Perth Council Chambers, 330 Wallace Avenue North, Listowel from 8:30am-4:30pm
Elma Memorial Community Centre, 251 Main Street, Atwood from 8:30am-4:30pm
