RAT-BITE FEVER

p AT bites are not common in this
country. Although the rat popu-
lation Is said to be at least as large. IL
not larger than the human, the two
apparently come together seldom. In
the country, where numerous rats are
found under barns, corn cribs and
wood sheds, and where children 60
barefoot at least part of the year, rat
bites are probably much more frequent
than is usually supposed.
In Japan, where the houses are of
loose construction, where every one
sleeps on mats on the fioor and where
many of the people go barefooted all
more commoA than in this country.
The doctors 10 Japan have found that
there is a definite disease which may
be gotten from a rat bite, just as hy-
drophobia caa be gotten from a dog
bite. They call 1t sodoku.
Any kind Of a bite, so far as the
wound is coNcerned is like any other
kind Of a stabbing or tearing wound.
Its seriousness depends largely on the
kind Of a Seapon that makes it. A
stab wound with a new. clean. bright
knife Is not as dangerous as the same
wound made with an old. Jagged, dirty
knife. But animals teeth are seldom
clean. Our Did English saying is "as
clean as a hCnnd's TOOTH" But hounds
or any other kinds OF dogs very seldom
have clean tseth. They may have n.y.
drophobia, If they have been bitten by
a mad dog. Even If they do not have
this worst OF dog diseases, they have
In their moths and on their teeth
germs of various kinds, which stay
In the wound and produce infection,
causing pain, swelling and sometimes
fever.
Rats also generally have some kind
OF germ in their mouths. so that the
rat bites usually become infected and
may cause Fever. In about ten to
twenty days after the bite, the pa
tent, often d child. will complain Of
headache, Weakness and muscular
pains. The oite, even If it has APP
parently healed, becomes swollen,
painful and a reddish blue color. The
glands or kernels nearest the bite
become swollen and tender. If the bite
is on the foot. the glands in the groin
are swollen IL on the hands, the glands
in the arm pit. Fever. nausea, vomit-
ing follow aad, in evere cases., the
child may become d%elirious. The fever
lasts several days, then disappears for
from two to six days and reappears.
A blush red rash appears OF the body.
The disease may last weeks or
months. Most cases eventually Tec0v-
er. Treatment consists in cauterizing
the bite with carbolic acid and In the
injection of arsDhenamine.
