MAY 15. 1955 SPRING FEVER G< NURSE SAYS IT'2 By Myrtle West. R.N. Clinton Mills Nurse Do you have spring fever? Many people at this time of the year use this term, half jestingly and half apologetically, to cover up a feeling of laziness or lack of energy. You can be assured that it is no joking matter, nor do you need to offer any apology. It is indeed a medical reality as truly as measles or influenza. All of which is to say that sudden changes in the weather or climate do indeed make drastic changes in our bodily functions. Spring, the ; i _ r i ? r penuu i)i cnange irom winter to summer, causes dilation of surface blood vessels which produces a reduction of blood volume. This in turn brings about a marked feeling of lassitude, loss of energy or justified laziness. It is a natural phenomenon and does not indicate organic disease. As soon as an adjustment is made, we regain our sense of good health and well being again. The same thing, in reverse, occurs again in the fall as the blood vessels contract and cause a change in blood volume and tension until an adjustment is made. i nese seasonal and climatic changes account for the fact that there are more apoplectic strokes and heart attacks in these seasons than in the rest of the year. It also accounts for more deaths among old people whose life is delicately balanced. It also is the reason that old people with high blood pressure and bad hearts do better in warm and more stable climate. On the other hand, many types of infectious diseases thrive in hot, humid climates. Tuberculosis is one of these. Thus tuberculosis sufferers do better in cool, dry climates. Intestinal infections and parasites thrive in warm climates. Young people do better in cool climates because they mature earlier and more respiratory diseases, such as colds, influenza, pneumonia and sinus infections thrive in cold climates. Rheumatic I V > V.
