FROM TODAY'S SHOW
Broken Bones: Summertime doesn't have to be ruined just because of a broken bone. Thanks to DryPro water protective cast covers, people with broken bones can now swim, bathe and shower –all without ever getting a single drop of water on their cast. DryPro is made of high quality surgical rubber that looks like a sleeve which fits over casts or bandages. The DryPro offers complete water protection during any water activity. The device offers comfort and flexibility; plus, it features a non-skid grid on the sole to prevent slipping. The Dry Pro™ is available in a variety of sizes designed to fit the youngest child all the way to NFL linebackers. Its reliable vacuum seal offers the safest and most effective method for keeping casts dry.
Bee stings: If you happen to get stung by a bee this summer then ice is the answer. Unless of course you are having a reaction which requires immediate medical attention. It is important to apply ice to the sting ASAP. Then, try to get the stinger out once the area is slightly numbed.
