If you're struggling to spell diarrhoea, “Dash In A Real Rush, Hurry Or Else Accident!” might help. If you're suffering from it, our blog post may be a bit more useful. It covers the common causes, symptoms and treatments of stomach bugs.

As with men, the most common heart attack symptom in women is chest pain or discomfort. But it’s important to note that women are more likely to experience the other common symptoms. Learn more at https://t.co/8Hrx6MpFWk

1 in 4 Irish women will die from cardiovascular disease. But we can help save lives by recognising heart attack symptoms and getting immediate medical attention before it’s too late.

Skin damage doesn’t just happen on holiday in hot, sunny places. The sun is strong enough to cause damage here in Ireland between April and September, even on cloudy days, so remember to be #SunSmart:

👕 Slip on clothing 
🧴 Slop on sunscreen (SPF 30+ for adults, 50+ for children)
👒 Slap on a wide-brimmed hat 
⛱️ Seek shade 
😎 Slide on sunglasses

Lyme disease is spread through the bite of a tick. These are small brown bugs that can be found outdoors in Ireland.

Protect yourself by wearing long sleeves, using insect repellent, and checking for ticks after spending time outside.
