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. Most cases can be managed at home with fluids and fever reducers; monitor for dehydration and seek emergency care for severe shortness of breath or inability to keep fluids down. With schools back in session, keep kids home until they’ve been fever-free for 24 hours.

Summer uptick in U.S. COVID cases prompts vigilance

COVID-19 cases are rising in parts of the U.S. this summer, though overall levels remain low, with wastewater data and CDC monitoring showing moderate activity in Missouri and Alaska and low activity elsewhere. Tracking is harder due to reduced testing. Experts attribute the uptick to waning vaccination and summer travel and urge precautions (masking when ill, hand hygiene, staying home while sick) and getting updated vaccines when available; Paxlovid can help high‑risk individuals. Measles cases are also rising, underscoring the importance of immunization.

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.
