WOOD TICKS HELP SPREAD
DISEASES, 1T IS STATED
Are Being Put On Black List by
State Department of Health

Wood ticks have been recognized as
go-betweens in the spread of rabbit
observation-disclosures fever and
more recently, of Rocky Mountain
spotted fever, to human beings. They
are accordingly being black-listed by
health departments, including the
Maryland State Department of Health.
For the protection of campers and
picnickers against these insect enc
mics, the State Department of Health
advises persons who are in charge of
summer camps and recreation grounds
to clear out the underground along
paths and especially along the ap-
proaches to bathing shores. Explain
ing the reason for this recommends
ton, DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health, said:
Everybody who has ever had any ex-
perience with them, will agree that
wood ticks are pests, and that even
when they are not sources of danger
they cause great discomfort. But
since it has been found that certain
kinds of ticks may also be carriers of
the germs that cause certain diseases,
they have been given definite status
as insect enemies and that there is a
very real reason for waging war
against them.
"The diseases for which ticks have
been found to be carriers include Rocky
Mountain spotted fever, which usually
occurs during the summer, and tulare-
mia or rabbit fever, which is more
likely to be contracted after the hunt
ing season opens in the fall. Rocky
Mountain spotted fever has been prev
alent in sections in the West for some
time, but it was not recognized in
this part of the country until recently.
Last year % cases were reported to
the Maryland State Department of
Health. All of them occurred in the
counties, and in nearly every instance
investigation showed that the pa
tents had been bitten by wood ticks.
The same thing was shown in connec-
ton with the investigation of the 20
cases of rabbit fever that occurred in
the State last year.
"The ticks that become carriers
suck out the infectious material from
animals that are themselves infected.
They transmit this disease producing
material to the human beings upon
whom they attach themselves. Not
all ticks are infected, but it is wiser
to regard all of them as possible
sources of danger-as they are Of
discomfort-and to clear out their
breeding places. They are especially
likely to be found in low bushes and
in the underground along the APP
proaches to bathing shores.
"In removing ticks that have be-
come imbedded in the flesh, be care
full not to crush the insects. 1t is
possible for the disease producing ma
terial to be absorbed through break
in the skin, or a scratch, as we'll as
through the bite of the insect"

The First Bird Law

Before Christ, 1451 years, when the
old Hebrew lawgiver, Moses, formu-
lated code for the children of Israel,
he enacted the following:
If birds nest chance to be before
thee in the way in any tree or on the
ground, whether they be young ones
or eggs and the dam sitting upon the
young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt
not take the dam with the young; but
thou shalt in anywise let the dam go,
that it may be well with thee and that
thou mayest prolong thy days.
