Tips given for s*
of Fourth of Jul)
By MARY MONCKTON
Staff Writer
It doesn't matter how old you
are, chances are you can recall at
least one Fourth of July when you
had the time of your life.
Many people have fond memories
of the games, picnics and people
from Fourths of July. However,
some people have some bad memories,
too.
Each year, someone has a bad
experience while everyone around
L: i i tu

several precautions that should be
taken when celebrating the nation's
independence.
One of the greatest activities on
this holiday is eating. People bring
picnics and snacks with them to
the beach, the family reunion and
the neighbor's backyard.
The problem is food poisoning.
It can be avoided by making sure
all food is fresh and stored
correctly.
Brooks Metts, director of Palmetto
Poison Center, said cold
food should be kept cold and hot
food should be kept hot. Any
changes in temperature allow bacteria
growth.
"By putting the leftovers on ice,
you reduce the risk of food poisoning,"
he said. The
most common food poisoning
is gastrointestinal, which
causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
stomach cramps and, sometimes,
headaches.
"Food poisoning is a selflimiting
disease," Metts said.
"Once the body gets rid of the exotoxin
produced by the bacteria,
things settle down and get back to
normal."
For this reason, Metts said the
center does not recommend drugs
because they only prolong the illness.
While symptomatic, the person
should drink Gatorade or fruit
juices to replace electrolytes, sodium
and potassium, normally present
in the body, but lost when
nausea or diarrhea are symptoms.
Metts said medical attention is
needed if the symptoms last more
than 24 hours, body temperature
exceeds 101 degrees or there is
blood in the vomit or stool.
After the eating is done and the
sun has gone down, Uncle Ed usually
brings out the matches. It's 1
time for the Fireworks. i
Fireworks are generally safe en- 1
tertainment, when the directions on
the labels are followed properly. 1
Fireworks are for outdoor use
only, should never be held while
lighting, and should be fired away i
from wooded areas, grass and peo- i
pie. It is against the law to shoot I
fireworks within 500 feet of where <
they are sold, a church or where I

gathered, said John Casey, of Jim
Casey's Discount Fireworks.
"You should light the fuse and
get away," he said. "If the fuse
_ - 1 j ??
goes out ana spuuers aon i go
back. You should wait at least two
hours because the fuse can continue
at any time."
Fireworks should only be used
with close adult supervision and a
bucket of water should be on hand.
Someone should also know who to
contact should an accident occur.
"If you follow the ways of lighting
them and don't shoot them
with malicious intent, there should
be no injuries," Casey said.
While people are catching their
breaths over the fireworks, they
might not be considering what
their pets are doing. It sounds
strange, but the dogs that have
been running around the picnic
grounds all day are affected by
fireworks.
"For dogs and cats, loud noises
are very upsetting, and they should
not be exposed," Joe Cheatham,
veterinarian, said.
He said it may not be a problem
for some animals, but for most, the
noise and the bright lights are very
disturbing.
People who bring their pets with
them in the car should watch for
dehydration. Cheatham said when
you stop to get a drink, get one for
the pet too. He added people
should never leave a pet locked in
a car.
"Tf r?0 n Ka OH r\ nrrrnao /Mifroi/la

but inside, it can be as hot as 130
to 140 degrees," Cheatham said.
This is how pets suffocate or have
a heat stroke. If you think your pet
has been overexposed to heat,
Cheatham recommended cooling it
down with an ice pack or wetting
it with a hose, then immediately
taking it to a vet.
Mike Williams, of the South
Carolina Wildlife and Marine Resources
Department, said caution
should be taken when boating.
"Pay attention ? collisions are
the most common boating accidents
because people are not
watching," Williams said. In congested
areas, such as marinas and
under bridges, boats should be
idled. He noted people need to
watch the weather. Before leaving,
tell someone where you're going
and when you'll be back and don't
overload the boat, he said.
People should not swim in areas
of boat activity. "Water skiers

lifesaving devices, and should have
someone in the boat watching
them," Williams said. "And if the
t>oat capsizes, stay with it. An
overturned boat can be used as a
tloating device and it's easier to
~ind tham a bobbing head."
