☀️ Hot Weather Reminder ☀️

We hope you're enjoying the sunny weather! A friendly reminder that some medications and their side effects can make us more sensitive to heat and dehydration.

Depending on how our bodies react, some HIV meds, gender-affirming hormones, antidepressants, and other meds can change how we regulate temperature and hold onto fluids. For example, some of us might get side effects (e.g., vomiting or diarrhea) that can make it easier to be dehydrated.

Here are some ways our team is keeping cool this summer!

• 💧 Keeping water, juice, and other fluids nearby
• 😴 Resting and checking in with ourselves and each other
• 🧊 Finding shade when outside. We can also look up cooling centres in our area, like this one in Vancouver!

Happy summer, everyone!

Warmly (but not too warmly),

The Mycelium team
