that's outstate dated. you can't take it to the schoolroom and give it to the camp people. in order to do that, you've got to see us. the reason is so that we can update those prescriptions. in some of the most common prescriptions i write, for instance, maybe your kid's weight has changed. their age may have been changed, so maybe a different formulation, a pill instead of a liquid maybe, or maybe they can use an inhaler than a anybody li neb lieser. >> these would be problems you may have dealt with all year long that you don't just drag them on into the camp setting. food allergy, do you still have it? the xhos common 2350d already is milk, maybe you've outgrown it. there's new testing for pea knit, asthma may have been another one. you don't need to stay on those

medications anymore. we like to apply the goal -- goldilocks rule. >> you should tie up the loose ends rolling around in your head. if you think maybe my kid is allergic to penicillin, don't send them to camp without knowing that. don't make the camp deal with how to deal with a penicillin allergy if they don't have it, come in, let's get test and find out. same thing with bee stings. if you think your kid have an allergy, find out. it's very easy to get tested. we'll know if we need to worry about it while they're in camp. don't is send them off thinking i'm not quite sure. and immunization updated? >> this is a big one. we've seen a lot about whooping cough, an immunization relatively new to have a booster shot for.

. teach your kids the tricks of prevention. >> prevention. so there are certain things you know are going to happen. for example, they get swimmer's ear. so why don't we start with trying to avoid that. thing like alcohol in the year, if they get bug bites a whole lot, let's avoid those. be on the look out for a bug bite gets infected and now that's not an allergy. if they always come back from a certain sleep-away camp and they get a sinus infection, maybe there's mold exposure, what can we do to prevent that before they go? >> lice? >> lice is another big one. if they're always coming home with lice, send them with the lice treatment this time and make sure they're always careful of where their head is touching. >> and not sharing combs and brushes. and know the basics of safe. >> go through them again, especially on days like today, what does heatstroke look like and dehydration. talk to them about good high

gen. this is particularly important for kids going to a sports camp. even a local basketball camp in the gym, they can get exposed to mrsa, and normal stuff, sunscreen, bike helmets, wear your set belt to camp. you paid a lot of money for that camp. you want them to finish it out. >> and you want a healthy summer, too. jim in. coming up "news4 at 4," training your dog can be tough. which pooch holds the title for worst behaved? plus a surprising study on

boy, it is tough and rough out there. it feels like triple digits, depending on wherer. >> and we have triple digits when you factor in the humidity. the heat index is what we're talking about. we are not used to this heat. our highest temperature prior to today was 92 degrees. today, of course, we hit 97. and take a look at the record

temperatures for the next couple days. today's report, 99, so close to it today. i do think that tomorrow we will tie the record, perhaps even shatter the record set in 1988, and friday the record, so we'll see temperatures start to drop a bit on friday with more clouds, and the potential of some showers and even some thunderstorms, but for sure some dangerous heat out there, 97 right now, that northeast wind at 5 miles per hour. the dew point temperatures at 65 degrees. it's been as high as 70 degrees today. one of the reason why that heat indecent shot up quickly after the noon hour. up toward areas like middleburg, the heat index 98. in kettering, the heat index now at 98. wood democrat bridge and point royal feel like 103. so just reminder, remember to

dress in lightweight and light-colored clothing, drink plenty of water, and of course do not go for the caffeine. take the shades in the breaks as frequently as possible. and check on the elderly and the frail when you can. as far as the heat index here, our values, the highest for the entire nation right there in d.c., and also in boston, look at these heat index values. 100 here, 101 in boston, so right here is the heat, it's finally arrived, right? warm even terms drops to 86 degrees. just a few clouds out there. once again tomorrow the temperatures will be warming fast. we're going to be jumping up quickly. it will take humid and muggy overnight. we'll get some clouds and have, again, some report heat coming our way for tomorrow, more of those isolated showers and storms well west of the area. then friday is looking stormy, with finally that front coming

in. hot and humid for the even. we'll talk more about the summer solstice away at 7:09. the sun sets today at 8:37. look at tomorrow morning, again, muggy, warm, 66 to 72 degrees. then for your afternoon 93 to 99. do prepare accordingly. if you're going to be doing anything yew side. the weekend less humid. with temperatures to around 90, but less humid is a good thing and cooler too for the weekend. >> thank veronica. >> thanks. still to come at "news4 at 4," a website similar to 4," a website similar to facebook. we need to look for a new van. yeah. i just don't know where to start.
