# fever
Cont. From Page 1-B
insects were found to be carriers of
the disease, including one of which
was removed from Dr. Taylor's body.
“I got it off in time,” Dr. Taylor
said, in explaining how he had
avoided being stricken with Rocky
Mountain spotted fever by removing
an infected tick before it had
transferred a microscopic organizm
to him through a bite.
For 1982, 64 confirmed cases of
Rocky Mountain spotted fever were
reported by the TDH. Last year,
4,603 ticks were sampled from 121
counties, with 132 ticks found to have
been transffiitters of the disease.
The infected ticks came from 44
counties, primarily from Central,
North, and Northeast Texas.
Ticks are plentiful this year
because of the mild winter, Dr.
Taylor told CLIFTON RECORD Edi-
tor Mike Reeder in a recent inter-
view.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is
characterized by a sudden onset of
fever, headache, chills, and a rash.
The rash usually appears on the
second or third day of the illness,
first on the arms and legs, before
spreading to the rest of the body.
In up to 10 percent of the cases, a
rash may not be' present, posing
additional diagnostic problems for
the physician. Treatment is highly <
effective in the disease’s early
stages.
Delay in diagnosis and treatment
could lead to serious problems with t
the infection. Persons exposed to
ticks should be aware of the symp-
toms and contact a physician if they
appear, Dr. Taylor recommended.
Dr. Taylor advised those who enter
wooded or grassy areas to take
precautions to avoid tick infesta-
tions. While commercial repellents
may help prevent tick attachment, he
suggested checking the clothing and
body often for ticks.
In this way, ticks may be removed
before they spread Rocky Moutain
spotted fever to humans. It usually
takes two to tnree hours of attach-
ment before a tick can infect a person
with the disease.
Infection can be spread through a
bite or by removing or crushing an
infected tick with unprotected fing-
ers. Use of gloves and tweezers is
advised by Dr. Taylor when handling
ticks.
According to an American Medical
Association report quoted by the
Hamilton Herald-News, about seven
percent of Rocky Mountain spotted
fever cases result in death. Early
medical care could reduce this
figure.
Since the first cases were discov-
ered in the Rocky Mountains the
disease has spread across the South
and is now most prevalent in the
Southeast. ’
The disease is caused by ricket-
tsia, microscopic organisms that live
inside ticks and infect people thro-
ugh tick bites. There appears to be a
greater probability of contacting the
disease the longer the tick is attached
to the body, according to the AMA
report.
Untreated, the disease causes
shaking chills, abdominal pain ,
nausea, mental confusion, and final-
ly unconsciousness. Later stages of
the fever can damage kidneys, liver,
lungs, and blood.
The AMA suggested wearing
protectiveclothing and making num-
erous body inspections to detect ticks
as preventive measurers for persons
in tick-infested areas. The associa-
tion recommends that a physician be
consulted if any symptoms appear
shortly after a person is bitten by a
tick.
Antibiotics will usually cure Rocky
Mountain spotted fever if admin-
istered soon enough. They will
usually forestall damage to organs or
death, which can occur if treatment is
delayed.

The Decision Is Yours
When I am tempted
Some wrong to do,
The devil says to me,
“This will be good for you.”
If I will but listen
To the voice sublime,
The Holy Spirit speaks true,
"Thedevil is lying.”
So if lam wise,
And want todo right,
Obedient to God I'll be,
Both by day and by night.
Jesus says to each of us,
‘' You are ei ther for or agai nst Me. ”
In your own mind you decide
Which direction your future shall be.
The wages of si n is death,
The gift of God is life.
Choose you this day aright,
And avoid an eternity of strife.
