Summer COVID-19 spike brings GI symptoms, doctors warn
COVID-19 cases are rising this summer with more patients presenting gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) alongside fever and cough. Experts say the shift may reflect viral mutation and circulating strains of COVID-19 and flu, with back‑to‑school activity contributing to the uptick.

Heat Rash Decoded: Quick, Safe Remedies for Summer Skin
Heat rash (miliaria) occurs when sweat ducts are blocked, causing itchy bumps after heat or friction. Relief comes from cooling the skin and removing triggers: cool showers, breathable clothing, and keeping areas dry; OTC hydrocortisone 1% cream and calamine can ease itching, while heavy moisturizers should be avoided. For facial rash, simplify your skincare and skip heavy makeup or acids. To prevent recurrence, change out of sweaty clothes promptly, wear breathable fabrics, and consider light powders or a mild hypochlorous spray; most cases improve within a few days to a week.

Aphelion Isn’t Making July Hot: It’s the Earth’s Tilt Behind Summer
Even at aphelion, the farthest point from the Sun in early July, heat remains high because the Earth’s 23.5° tilt directs more sunlight toward the Northern Hemisphere and lengthens days. Perihelion—the closest approach to the Sun—occurs in January at about 91.4 million miles, while aphelion is about 94.5 million miles away and the planet travels around 65,500 mph. The season is driven by tilt, not proximity, and daylight is gradually changing after the solstice, which helps explain why recent local heat records occur during summer.
