Summer’s back, and so are those pesky bugs. For most people, bug bites and stings turn out to be nothing more than a nuisance bringing momentary alarm, temporary discomfort and localized pain. But for some, bites and stings can lead to infections that require medical treatment or worse, acute allergic reactions that can be serious or even fatal. Therefore, it’s important to remember how to avoid these unwanted encounters and keep yourself safe while working outdoors. 

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to lose a finger? A thumb? A hand? An injury to your hands or fingers can make even everyday tasks difficult or impossible to perform. Serious injuries may require extensive therapy and training to relearn even simple tasks we often take for granted. Therefore, protecting the hands and fingers from injury should be a top priority while both at work and at home.
