Good morning, Clare, how are you?

Yeah, and I think we think about those maybe...

when it's a little too late, when the sun comes out, we don't expect it.

We've had a fabulous bit of great weather.

And I suppose it's to remember that sometimes people might maybe keep their inhaler in their car for asthma and they can explode when cars get hot.

Or they may not work as well when you go to use them the next

time.

Yeah and there's things that people know to hold in the fridge like insulin but then they might be bringing it with them somewhere else

And it's to not leave these things, places where they get warm, to read the labels that come on medication or come in leaflets really well to know how you're to store them properly.

If you're storing something in the fridge, you store it in the middle of the fridge, not in the door of the fridge, because that would be maybe different temperatures.

And the heat can break down the active ingredient in it.

And if you have a worry about something like that, don't use it.

So if a tablet looks maybe a bit more crumbly than it should and you think, God, maybe I have been leaving that

sitting inside in a hot window, a cell, you know, think about it twice or if you have something that looks not quite right, have a think about it.

An ice bag or a... You can get special medical pouches that are insulated that you put little gel packets into or little ice blocks into but

The medication itself is kind of protected with bubble wrap or a cloth.

And always, if you're travelling with any medication, you would bring it in your hand luggage and that you would leave it in the boxes or in the packaging it comes in so that your name is on it.

So it doesn't look like you're taking medicine for somebody else on a plane.

Of course, because you could get in big trouble.

You could get in big trouble.
