ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED
FEVER INCREASING
Since we know of one fatal cane of
spotted fever, and having once found
'<nc of these ticks trying for a location
on our person, the following nrt
n le from the department of agriculture
is especially interesting:
In the last few years an Increasing
number of cases of Rocky Mountain
spotted fever have been reported in j
ihe East. It has appeared in nearly
all states except those in New England.
and Ohio, Michigan. Wisconsin, j
and Mississippi. A number of cases
of this tick-bone disease occur each
year in Maryland and Virginia in the
vicinity of Washington. 1). C., and
also in North Carolina. Delaware,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
From the standpoint of wood tick
infestation. May and June are the
worst months for camping or hiking
in regions where those insects are
abundant, according to Dr. F. C. Bishopp
of the I'nited States Department
of Agriculture. By the first of August
the ticks practically disappear.
The late summer is u better time for
out of doors activities in sections
where ticks are common.
Ticks live on blood obtained by attaching
themselves to animals or hu
man beings A tick bite may result
in nothing worse thap a local irritation.
Or it may serve as a point of
entry' for serious bacterial infection
of some sort. The common dog-tick
or wood tick is frequently a dlSdhbe
carrier. Rocky Mountain'spotted fever
is the most widespread and most
dangerous of the tick-bone diseases.
It has a high mortality. Bvt,nome
species of ticks also hare been known
to carry tularemia, or rabbit fever,
and others, mainly in the West, a dl
eeaso called relapsing fever, and a pe- J
culiar form of paralysis.
Although adult ticks prefer the
blood of dogs, they may attach themselves
to horses, cattle and larger
wild animals, as well as to man. The
younu licks, called "seed ticks" and .
"nymphs" relish the blood of meadow
and pine mice and other small wild
animals When there are none of
these Utile animals on which the
young ticks can feed they disappear
Clearing out underbrush near houses,
camps, and frequently used walks cuts
down the number of ticks by removing
shelter for their hosts. If ticks
are very abundant near a permanent
| camp site, a creosote oil spray on the
area around the camp and along the
| trails may help to kill vegetation and
repel them to some exteut.
I It is best to confine dogs In yards
throughout the tick season, and examine
both dogs and horses frequentI
ly. Dr. Btshopp recommends pulling
! ticks off those animals with forceps!
or tweeters nnd dropping them Into
a can of kerosene. This avoids hand
j ling thorn. Ticks that have fed on a
i dog for a few hours are Immedlatel)
! dangerous if they bite a person, hut j
they are not likely to detach until
fully fed and the engorged females
I will not reattach As the Rocky Moun- I
j tain spotted fever disease can be con-'
traded from crushed ticks, through
< tits or scratches, it is a safety measure
to wash the hands thoroughly af- I
ter touching ticks. Denis powder may
(be scattered lightly over heavily Infested
dogs This kills any ticks on
the dog and tends to repel others.
Since each engorged female tick that
escapes will deposit about 5,000 eggs,
the Importance of killing every tick
on a dog is emphasized.
If it is necessary to go into tickinfested
place*, It U advisable to woftr
high-top shoes ovar army type trooajers
and systematically to examine the]
body and head at feast twice a day.
Ticks often attach themselves in the
hair at the base of the scalp. Theyare
not likely to transmit the disease
unless they remain attached at least
six hours.
Ticks are yery hardy. They tan
live from year to year with no food.
Adult ticks put in vials without food
have been alive and vigorous after
more than three years. Hence it can*
not be taken for granted that an area
is tick-free. New infestations may appear.
The stratospheric balloon of Proft
Auguste Piccard. famous sci? ntttic
neronautist. was destroyed by an accidental
tire at Brussels, with a loss
of $35,000.
C\ Lloyd Fisher, chief legal defender
of Richard Hauptman in the Lindbergh
baby case, has been appointed
prosecuting attorney for Hunteruon
county, New Jersey, by Governor Harold
G. Hoffman.
Despite the very favorable court decisions
on the laws advocated by the
President, ho still insists on his judiciary
reorganization plans, and is not
inclined at all to drop the matter or
accept any compromises. On the other
hand the foes of the proposed
stacking or packing of the court are
more determined than ever to defeat
the proposals and the fight is just
really beginning in earnest.
President Hoosevolt has sent a request
to congress to permit foreign
governments to use American helium
as a means of safeguarding passengers
in lighter-than-air craft. He transmitted
to Capitol hill a report from a
spec ial committee of five cabinet officers
proposing relaxation of regulations
which, since 1925, have limited
sale of the fire-proof gas to domestic
concerns.
