Central Shenandoah Health District's Epidemiologist Deborah Bundy-Carpenter wants to send out a reminder during this busy holiday weekend. Make sure you do not leave your children in the car even for a minute when running into a store for an item. It is dangerous in many ways, but especially to their health in these hot summer months.

Also related to this holiday weekend, there are a couple of recalls to let you know about as you stock up for your Fourth of July cookouts.
