As we gear up for summer, Doctors are advising us to be focused on staying cool. FOX's Joy Piazza reports in this 'Housecall for Health': This is Housecall for Health. With a lot of the country facing higher than normal temperatures and summer right around the corner, Doctors are advising folks to avoid getting heat stroke: (Dr. Marciniak) "If a person is in the heat too long, they may experience excessive sweating, they can get muscle cramping, they can feel faint." Dr. Alison Marciniak at the Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Michigan: (Dr. Marciniak) "People, they aren't dressing correctly for the weather. They may not be taking in enough fluids." She also says if you do get overheated, apply a cold compress to your neck or under your armpits to cool down. And it's not just us humans who need to stay cool. John Dinon is with the Ingham County Animal Control and Shelter in Mason, Michigan: (Dinon) "Make sure your pet has water at all times, if they're not indoors make sure they have access to shade, if they're out running around and exercising keep an eye on them. If they seem to be lethargic or excessively panting you definitely want to bring them in to a cool area." For more health news, go to FOXNewsHealth.com.

A national registry to help solve gun crimes is in the works and it has already helped find a link to the shooting death of a police officer. FOX's Joy Piazza calls the shots with "Bullet Points": I'm Joy Piazza. A new tool for solving crimes by firing weapons involved in criminal activity. That's what the Phoenix police department is doing, connecting with a national database. Jessica Ellefritz is with Phoenix P.D. and says firing a confiscated weapon can help find its criminal history: (Ellefritz) "And its very similar to like a fingerprint, there are certain tool marks left behind on a casing when a gun is fired." High definition photos are taken of markings on the casings back at the lab and entered into the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network, NIBIN for short and compared to casings collected in other crimes: (Ellefritz) "At any given time there's a firearm sitting on a shelf in the police impound that could be the murder weapon from another homicide. And unless we test fire that and have those casings as a sample. We may never know that that gun was involved in a homicide." Phoenix police say their most notable cracked case, a shooting in 2013 linked to the shooting death of an officer across the country. And those are your Bullet Points! I'm Joy Piazza, FOX News!

Doctors in Colorado are using acupuncture to treat children. FOX's Joy Piazza with your "Housecall for Health": This is, Housecall for Health. It's an alternative therapy to help treat a child with severe eczema in Colorado. Emily Cadwell says her daughter Mckenna is being treated with acupuncture, stimulating specific points on the body with thin needles. The 19-month old was: (Cadwell) "Really, she was just miserable. Very itchy, her skin was very red and inflamed." Acupunturist Peyton Dryden says the little girl has responded well: (Dryden) "She`s cleared up quite a bit." Dr. Paul Murray with the Whole Health Center in Denver says other common problems that acupuncture can help treat are colic and acid reflux: (Dr. Murray) "With kids, they haven`t lived that long, so the condition is not that old. In Chinese medicine, the fresher the better." The Gillette Children's Special in St. Paul Minnesota conducted a study analyzing nine children treated for various conditions between June 2014 and June 2015. They concluded some of the patients had a decrease in pain, while others had complete relief. The FDA approved acupuncture needles for use by licensed practitioners in 1996.

He's been a lazy cat over the past few decades, but Garfield is back, and helping users navigate a changing and sometimes daunting online world. FOX's Joy Piazza explains in this edition of "FOX on Tech": When the "Garfield" comic strip first hit newsstands in 1978, "going online" wasn't a thing. Now that lazy feline is helping kids and adults alike navigate the 'web safely: (Davis) "We've been working very hard to take our analog cat into digital world now." "Garfield" creator Jim Davis partnered with the Center for Cyber Safety and Education to make a series of online safety adventures: (Davis) "People by nature are very trusting, so when someone asks them to share their phone number or password or something like that, they tend to." The center's director Patrick Craven says some holiday toys and gadgets could lure online thieves: (Craven) "When you sign into some of these things, you're giving them access to your contacts on your phone or on your social media site and things like that. Do you really want them to have that? So what would Garfield's Facebook profile look like?: (Davis) "Favorite food: Lasagna. Favorite pastime: Sleeping and eating, it would be a very short profile." Garfield's adventures are on SafeAndSecureOnline.org. With FOX on Tech, I'm Joy Piazza, FOX News.

Background checks for firearms are on the rise, could it be election related or due to the start of hunting season? FOX's Joy Piazza calls the shots in "Bullet Points": October was a big month for firearm background checks. More than two million of them, according to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. That's up 18 percent over the same month a year ago. Some people think it's because of the election campaign and concerns that if Hillary Clinton wins, there will be tighter gun rules. But it could also be due to deer hunting season starting in many states. For instance, Minnesota: (Valkanburg) "The guys are seeing some big bucks." Scott Van Valkanburg owns a hunting and fishing store in Duluth: (Valkanburg) "You get to see some really big deer. We've had some deer up in the 280's. That's a big animal." His advice, have fun, but hunt safely. A family in Oregon learned that the hard way this week. A man and his three young children were out deer hunting near Corvallis when the dad's 30-30 rifle accidentally discharged, wounding his four year daughter and two-year-old boy. Fortunately the wounds were not life-threatening. With Bullet Point's I'm Joy Piazza, FOX News.

Gun control has been a hot topic this election season. FOX's Joy Piazza has the details in this episode of "Bullet Points": Like just about every other issue in this year's Presidential race, the issue of guns is very contentious: (Trump) "Hillary Clinton wants to essentially abolish the 2nd Amendment." Donald Trump has the endorsement of the NRA: (Trump) "Hillary wants to take your guns away. She wants to leave you unprotected in your home." Hillary Clinton says she's not anti-gun, but does want some changes: (Clinton) "I believe there should be comprehensive background checks and we should close the gun show loophole and close the online loophole." Clinton and Trump do agree that no one who's on the terrorist watch list should be allowed to buy a gun, but they don't agree on assault weapons. Clinton wants restrictions, Trump does not. And Trump has toughened his views over time. After the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, he said he favored tighter gun control. But this year after the nightclub attack in Orlando, Trump said the massacre might have been averted if people inside were allowed to have guns. With Bullet Points I'm Joy Piazza, FOX News.

A new study shows the LGBT community is at higher risk for dating abuse. FOX's Joy Piazza explains in "Housecall for Health": This is Housecall for Health. A study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show high school students who identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual are more likely to be assaulted in a dating situation than their classmates who are straight. The CDC interviewed more than 15,000 students of all orientations anonymously last year. Nearly one in five gay, lesbian and bisexual students said they were raped at one point in their lives, compared with one in 20 heterosexual students. Nearly one in five LGBT students say they've been physically assaulted on a date. More than double of what the straight students reported. And one in four LGBT students say they've tried to kill themselves over the past year. One in 16 heterosexual students claimed that. The study also showed that gay, lesbian and bisexual students are at a higher risk for being bullied and ostracized by other classmates. It's the first time a government agency has compiled the data.
