During the hot summer months, many of us spend time at the beach, lake, or pool. Water safety is important for children and adults. Here are some tips to help you stay safe as you enjoy the water:
Always watch children while they are swimming or near water. Never leave children alone near water. A child or weak swimmer can drown in less than a minute.
Teach children to always ask before they go in the water.
Take swimming lessons. Make sure children have basic swimming skills like treading water and floating.
Never swim alone.

過敏是最常見的慢性疾病之一。過敏是免疫系統對過敏原發生反應引起的。當過敏患者接觸過敏原時，就會出現過敏症狀。過敏原的接觸途徑包括攝入、觸摸或吸入。
免疫系統嘗試保護您的身體並抵抗過敏原。這可能引起瘙癢和皮疹等症狀。如發生嚴重過敏，可能導致患者呼吸困難、暈厥甚至死亡。

HPV有什麼症狀？
