A Resource About Cool Tips for a Hot Season


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Just in time for the torrid days of summer, a publication from the Food
and Drug Administration is available.  It is a reprint from the FDA Consumer
Magazine, and its title indicates its usefulness at this time.  It is called
"Cool Tips for a Hot Season," and you will find this 8 page, full size
publication a great source of useful information for this time of the year. It
describes the effects of sunlight and the use of sunscreens, as well as
"bronzers" and tanning pills.  If you overdo it despite the good advice, the
section on Soothing the Burn may help.  A second article explains all you
would ever want to know about "The Right Shades" and how sunglasses are
constructed.  The last piece in this publication describes jelly fish and
stingray stings, some perspectives on shellfish as a food, and the precautions
you should know about.  It is an altogether readable and instructive
publication.  For your single copy, address your request to:  FDA-HFE-88, 5600
Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857. Ask for a reprint of FDA article #93-1202,
"Cool Tips for a Hot Season".  No need for a self addressed envelope, this
one's on the government.  It will only take a couple of weeks before you will
find your copy of this timely publication in your mail.
