🏥 Health
Huntington Dermatology’s registered nurse Samantha Steffen advised residents to wear sunscreen every day to prevent lasting skin damage as summer continues, noting that even cloudy weather can cause burns. (She also recommended regular skin exams to spot irregular changes.)
The American Red Cross warns that summer school closures will cut nearly 40,000 blood donations, and it urges Huntington donors to help local hospitals treat emergencies since blood has a limited shelf life.
Donations are needed now as drives pause on campuses that usually bring in life-saving supplies.
Health officials linked the cyclosporiasis outbreak to lettuce and salad greens, with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reporting that its investigation remained open and no single supplier or grower was identified.
