Pollinators like bees are vital to growing the foods we need, and most will ignore us if we leave them alone.

But do you know what to do when you or someone with you has been stung by a bee or wasp?

For most people, a sting is just painful. Dropping into the pharmacy for pain medications or an antihistamine can do the trick!

But for a few, it can be life-threatening. You may not know you're one of them until after you've been stung. A severe allergic reaction to bee stings (anaphylaxis) requires emergency treatment.

Talk with us to know the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, and what you can do to protect you and your family. Learn more about caring for an insect sting: https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-topics/care-insect-sting

It’s getting warmer! Are your feet ready for flip-flops and sandals?

Being the most used—and sometimes least cared for—part of your body, your feet are more susceptible to injuries and conditions such as bunions, ingrown toenails, plantar warts, plantar fasciitis, blisters, corns, fungus and more.

If you have concerns about your foot health, drop by the pharmacy. Our pharmacist can recommend over-the-counter medications to remedy many foot conditions and other products to help you best care for your feet.

For every medicine you take, you need to know:

It’s Canadian Men’s Health Month. A great time to encourage the men in our lives to check in with their physical and mental health. Regularly checking-in with yourself can help to reduce your symptoms of stress and anxiety.

Let’s get active together! Whether it’s playing golf, walking, or bike riding, studies show that exercise of all kinds triggers feel-good endorphins, soothes stress, eases anxiety, and helps relieve depression. Partner up with friends and family and encourage one another to make your physical health a priority.

Share this link with the men in your lives as a great reminder about the role that moving more plays in your mental health:

Protecting your skin is important all year long, but summer in particular is when you need to stock up on sunscreen!

Lyme disease can be serious. The best way to prevent it is to not get bitten by a blacklegged tick.

When heading outdoors, help avoid a bite by:
• Tucking your pants into your socks
• Wearing closed-toed shoes
• Opting for light-coloured clothing
• Doing a full-body check on yourself, your kids, and pets when you head indoors

Stop by the pharmacy for advice on how to correctly remove a tick in case someone in your household gets bitten.

A red, itchy, sore ear could signal a common complaint during the summer months: swimmer’s ear.

Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the tube that runs from your eardrum to the outer part of your ear. It’s often brought on by water that remains in your ear, creating a moist environment where bacteria can grow.

This infection can usually be treated with prescription ear drops. Ask our pharmacist if you should see your doctor.

During the hot, hazy days of summer, it’s important to pay attention to your body’s hydration needs. If you’re spending a lot of time outside, or you and your children are playing sports, and sweating heavily, you could be at risk of dehydration.
The signs of dehydration can include:
• Thirst
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Flushed skin
If you or someone you are with is showing signs of dehydration, get some liquids in right away. An electrolyte-infused water will help to replenish your body with depleted nutrients. Certain medications can increase your risk of dehydration. Ask our pharmacist for more information.

This Migraine Awareness Month, join us in recognizing the nearly 12 percent of Canadians who suffer from migraines and other headache disorders.

Although symptoms and triggers of migraine vary for different people, understanding what migraine is and how you can support your loved ones living with this condition can help make a difference.

Read and share this helpful blog post about ways you can support your friends and family living with migraine: https://www.tevacanada.com/en/canada/life-effects/understand-about-migraine/

If you experience migraines, or care for someone who does, our pharmacy team is here to help. Ask our pharmacist if you have questions about your migraine medication or managing your migraines.

If tiny white bumps on your skin are making you feel shy about showing your arms in a tank top or sleeveless dress, you’re not alone.
Up to 40% of Canadians have keratosis pilaris (KP), an often-inherited form of mild eczema that happens when dead skin cells plug the site of a hair follicle. The condition is harmless, but the bumps on your upper arms (or thighs or cheeks) can be a nuisance.

If you are concerned about keratosis pilaris or other skin conditions, our pharmacist can give you advice on how you can take care of it at home and let you know if it’s time to call your doctor.

06/01/2024

Summer is upon us and for some of you this means a hair removal product has been added to your shopping list.
If you are considering your options, hair removal creams (depilatories) can be a good way to dissolve hair on legs, underarms, bikini lines and more. When used properly, they are safe and effective—but they’re not for everyone. People with damaged skin or chronic skin conditions, like rosacea, psoriasis or even a sunburn, should not use these products.

If you have questions, stop by and speak with our pharmacist.

Hypertension is blood pressure that’s higher than normal. Your blood pressure will change throughout the day, but having consistently high blood pressure can damage blood vessels and put you at risk of complications like heart attack and stroke.

High blood pressure is common, but most people don’t even know they have it. If you’re concerned, stop by and speak with our pharmacist. They can take your blood pressure and let you know when it’s time to see your doctor.

Check out this information from Hypertension Canada on what you need to know about high blood pressure and your health:
