Tips for Staying Safe at Wisconsin State Fair

August 13, 2024

Dr. Ben Weston, associate professor of Emergency Medicine, notes that Wisconsin State Fair goers should enjoy “in moderation”. The goal is to have fun, but safety should remain a top priority. One way to stay safe is to practice moderation when it comes to classic and new state fair foods and drinks. Along with food in moderation, people should keep heat-related illnesses in mind and stay hydrated. Symptoms of heat stroke can come on quick and should be considered a medical emergency.
