The most common places for daytime auto burglaries are beaches, parks, gyms, and daycare. Here are a few reminders • Always lock your vehicle and roll up the windows, no matter how long you will be away. • Limit what you bring to our beaches & parks; an empty vehicle deters thieves. • Don’t leave purses, wallets, electronics, money, sunglasses, diaper bags, gym bags, or keys in your vehicle. • Please watch out for subjects who loiter, appear to be lifting door handles or are looking into windows. Report these people immediately to police by calling 561-368-6201, 911, or alert a nearby park ranger. • Thieves are always watching! Placing your belongings in the trunk or under your seat does not safeguard them.

Ocean bathers report red welts and blotches, which are concentrated under the swimsuit and other parts of the body after swimming in the ocean. Itching and redness usually occur several hours after ocean bathing. Some experience a slight “prickling” sensation while they are in the water. This occurs mostly from April to July. Symptoms: Itching -- usually lasts 2-4 days, but it can last as long as 2 weeks. Some people have more severe reactions, including headache, fever, nausea and infected blisters. Children may develop high fever. Prevention: Make sure you change out of your bathing suit before showering. This may reduce your risk for sea bather’s eruption by half. Treatment: An oral antihistamine may help to relieve the itching. Also, an over-the-counter topical 1% cortisone cream or sting aid may be helpful. With severe reactions or complications, call your physician immediately. For more information, call (561) 514-5369, HRS-Palm Beach County Public Health Unit.
