Family members infected with untreated whooping cough can be blamed for 75 percent of pertussis cases in infants. The National Association of School Nurses launched a campaign in August encouraging older children to get pertussis booster shots. Last spring, the Food and Drug Administration approved two new pertussis vaccines for teens and adults. In a study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the vaccines were found to be 92 percent effective in preventing pertussis infection. DaDies witn me aisease are more likely to make whooping sounds and turn blue while coughing. Adults do not usually experience the signature “whooping” sound with their cough, Levine said. In teenagers and adults, the cough is persistent, rapid and deep and can last for months. In more severe cases, the coughing can cause shortness of breath, vomiting and even hernias and rib fractures. It is most contagious during the first few weeks of symptoms. Many cases are diagnosed when health officials begin monitoring family members and friends of a known pertussis patient. “We look at who’s around that case and see if they’re having symptoms consistent with pertussis,” said Dr. Hildy Meyers, medical director of epidemiology for the Orange County Health Care Agency. WEIGHT GRIFI •CODTinUCD FROITI5 up for a kickboxing class. But, she said, she took it too far. “(I told myself) if I consume 1,000 calories a day, I should lose pounds in no time, but no time was taking too long,” she said. Soon she was down to 700 calories a day, and she started getting lightheaded at her kickboxing classes. She was becoming obsessive about weight loss and was developing an eating disorder, she said. Simon said that students shouldn’t create their own diets, and that they should try to stop obsessing about their weight or the calories they’re consuming. Olson’s friends noticed that she wasn’t eating and helped her snap out of it. She said she finally realized that college wasn’t about being a certain size or looking good. It was about getting an education. “I decided, you know what, it’s OK if I don’t wear a size 2 anymore,” she said. “I don’t need to look like I’m in junior high.” Simon and Levitsky offer these tips for avoiding the “freshman 15.” — “Front-load” calories: Don’t skip meals, especially breakfast. Eating a slice of last night’s leftover pizza is better than not fueling your body for the day. The idea is to take in calories before you ^ need them, instead of^| afterward, when your body is drained. — Try walking: Walk to school if you live off campus. If you live on campus, make time for hiking, mountain biking or the gym — most schools have good exercise facilities. — Find alternatives to unhealthy food: Get pizza with less cheese and meat and more vegetables. Order a nonfat latte. Ask for less rice or meat with that teriyaki meal and more salad. ^ — Drink less alcohol and more water: A 12-ounce beer has about as many calories as a 12-ounce soft drink. Carry a water bottle — it’s trendy, and being hydrated is part of being healthy. — Don’t go hungry: If you eat small, regular portions, you shouldn’t be hungry. Keep a healthy snack nearby. — Beware late-night meals: Studying late can mean your body will want an extra meal — calories you probably won’t burn off unless you add extra exercisejg the next day. ™ EOE tS si ■ WHmffilST08ACCl K .
