These factors can impact your mental well-being, making it essential to prioritize self-care and awareness during this time.

The Lenawee County Health Department (LCHD) has confirmed the presence of blue-green algae, known as cyanobacteria or harmful algal blooms (HABs), at Devils Lake in Manitou Beach.
LCHD recommends Devils Lake visitors avoid entering the water where the algal bloom is visible and to keep pets from drinking or being exposed to the water. These precautions should be followed until the bloom has cleared. LCHD will continue to monitor the situation closely.

It only takes two minutes for a car to reach unsafe temperatures. Every year children and pets left in parked vehicles die from heat stroke.
⚠️ Never leave a child, a person with a disability or a pet in your car, even if the windows are open.
⚠️ Even the most caring and watchful person can forget a child or pet is in the vehicle. Always check to make sure all children and pets are out of the car before locking it and walking away.
⚠️ Teach children that cars are not safe places to play. Store your keys out of reach of children.
⚠️ Leave pets at home when you can.
🌞 Sun Safety Tip: Skip the Sun, Use Self-Tanning Products! 🧴✨
Getting a tan from the sun can harm your skin and increase your risk of skin cancer. Instead, opt for self-tanning sprays, foams, oils, or mousses for a sun-kissed glow without the UV damage. These products give you a beautiful tan while keeping your skin safe and healthy.
Enjoy a safe summer glow! 🌞🕶️
We recommend visitors avoid entering the water where the algal bloom is visible and keep pets from drinking the water. Advisory signs will be posted at the beach and boat launch areas, and we will continue to monitor the situation closely.

🌞 Sun Safety Tip: Wear a Hat! 👒🧢
Protect yourself from the sun’s harmful rays by wearing a wide-brimmed hat. Hats provide excellent shade for your face, ears, and neck, which are common areas for sunburn. Choose one with a brim all the way around for maximum coverage and stay stylish while staying safe!
Enjoy the sunshine responsibly! 🌞🕶️
🌞 Sun Safety Tip: Don't Forget the Sunscreen! 🧴
Summer is here, and while we enjoy the sunny days, it's important to protect our skin from harmful UV rays.
Always apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 before heading outdoors. Make sure to cover all exposed skin, including often-missed spots like your ears, the back of your neck, and the tops of your feet. Reapply every two hours, or more often if you're swimming or sweating.
Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine! 🌞🕶️
It's National Breastfeeding Month!
👶 Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for most babies. As the baby grows, the mother's breast milk will change to meet the baby's nutritional needs.
👶 Breastfeeding can help protect babies against some short- and long-term illnesses and diseases. Breastfed babies have a lower risk of asthma, obesity, type 1 diabetes, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Breastfed babies are also less likely to have ear infections and stomach bugs.
👶 Breast milk shares antibodies from the mother with her baby. These antibodies help babies develop a strong immune system and protect them from illnesses.
👶 Breastfeeding has health benefits for the mother too! Breastfeeding can reduce the mother's risk of breast and ovarian cancer, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure.

🌊 Keeping our lakes clean and healthy is a shared responsibility! Here are a few tips to help protect our precious waterways: 🚯 Avoid Littering: Dispose of trash in designated bins. Littering pollutes the water and harms wildlife. 🌿 Use Environmentally Friendly Products: Opt for biodegradable and non-toxic products when cleaning boats and gear. 🦆 Respect Wildlife: Enjoy observing wildlife from a distance and refrain from feeding them. Human food can harm them and disrupt their natural behaviors. Lenawee County’s lakes are a treasure for all to enjoy. Let's work together to keep them beautiful for generations to come! 🌊💙
🌊 Stay Safe This Summer: Swim Smart! 🌊 🏊♀️ Swim in Designated Areas: Always choose areas designated for swimming. These spots are monitored for safety and water quality, reducing risks of accidents and harmful bacteria. 👶 Supervise Children: Never leave kids unattended near the water. Drowning can happen quickly and silently. Always designate a responsible adult to watch over young swimmers. 🦺 Use Life Jackets: For those who are not strong swimmers or young children, life jackets are essential. They provide buoyancy and can be lifesaving in emergencies. 🚫 Follow Posted Rules: Pay attention to all posted signs and warnings. They're there to protect you from hazards like strong currents, sudden drop-offs, or underwater obstructions. ☀️ Stay Hydrated and Sun-Protected: Prolonged sun exposure can lead to dehydration and sunburn. Drink plenty of water and use sunscreen with a high SPF to keep your skin safe. Stay safe and enjoy the water responsibly! 🌞🏖️ #WaterSafety #SummerFun #StaySafe
