Summer is a time for fun in the sun, but there are lots of factors to keep in mind as temps rise and we spend more time outside. Christopher Toth, PA-C, Family Medicine Physician Assistant at GBMC Health Partners Primary Care – Jarrettsville discusses protecting your skin from the sun's strong rays; heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke; avoiding bites from bugs like ticks and mosquitoes; and staying safe in the water.
