baby mandrill and mother

If it looks like the Mandrills are having a conversation – they probably are!

Mandrills have a complex communication system that isn’t limited to ‘talking’...they ‘talk’ through acoustic, visual, tactile, and scent information! 

OhioHealth Tip: Last stop, we learned about dehydration. Now, we’re tackling heat stroke.

Heat stroke occurs when your body gets too hot and cannot sweat enough to cool you. It’s a life-threatening emergency and needs immediate medical treatment.

Common symptoms of heat stroke include: high body temperature (104ºF or higher), confusion, slurred speech, headache, dizziness, fatigue, seizure, hot, dry, red skin, heavy breathing, rapid heart rate, hallucinations, nausea, vomiting and unconsciousness.
