Wear a hat if you get one with a neck flap the better, drink water not sodas Gatorade is OK, do not do strenuous exercise during the middle of the day.
Look up symptoms of heat stroke and follow them, when going for a hike take water with you, even if going by car, if going exploring let the camp ground personnel know where you are headed to, if you are not back in 24 hours to notify rescue.
Do not step over rocks, there could be a rattler in the other side, step on the rock and look, have a walking stick and now and then stomp on the ground snakes will run away.
Now that I have scared the wits out of you have a nice roasting.

All good advice, thanks.
I have been putting off looking up snakebites, spider bites, scorpion bites...but I will review heat stroke while I'm at it.
