Consumer Updates > Use Sunscreen Spray? Avoid Open Flame:

"You love a good summer barbecue and wisely use sunscreen if you are out in the sun. What you may not know is that if you apply certain sunscreen sprays and then come close to a source of flame, you may risk the sunscreen catching fire and giving you a serious burn.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has become aware of five separate incidents in which people wearing sunscreen spray near sources of flame suffered significant burns that required medical treatment."

Avoid Summer Sunburn

I'm on my way out the door for a weekend of fun in the wine country. Some food, wine, and lots of sun. 

I never used to use much suntan lotion or sunblock, and my nose and cheeks are starting to show it. I just went shopping for some products and picked up some SPF 70. OMG. They even make an SPF 100 now! 

Anyhow, here's something that caught my eye last season, for those of you at risk of a worse sunburn: It is Summer - These things will make your sunburn worse! Have fun this weekend!

Apple Cider Caution In The Autumn

I love the fall, and I've enjoyed having fresh apple cider. I'm sure many of you do to. Here's some things you should know about to avoid getting sick or making others sick from unpasteurized apple cider. Find more recommendations in this Medical News Today news article, "As Autumn Arrives Beware Of Unpasteurized Cider And Juices, Warns Iowa Department Of Public Health." Here are some, but not all, of the main points that I take away . . .

1. Unpasteurized cider can be a health risk, especially to children and those who have weakened immune systems
2. Cider should be kept refrigerated at 40 F or cooler
3. Risk of illness can be reduced by heating unpasteurized apple cider to at least 170 F before drinking
