Medical staff at Ben Taub Hospital are seeing a slight uptick in patients with heat-related illnesses.

With temperatures expected to hover at 100 degrees and above, Harris Health's Ben Taub Hospital's emergency doctors and nurses recommend avoiding the outdoors during peak hours, around 3 p.m. – 7 p.m. 

ER nurse Jonathan Garcia, who used to work in construction, said he and his coworkers couldn't avoid peak hours. Instead, they would take precautions and drinks lots of water. 

To the parents, he stressed the need to look before they lock their car to ensure a child, a pet, or anyone else isn't left in the back seat.
