Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

THE most common method of transmitting the
Il organism of amebc dysentery is through the
contamination of food and drink by food handlers
who happen to be carriers CT the entameba histo-
lytca.
These food handlers may be walters, cooks. dish
washers or any other kitchen help in family or in
a hotel.
Even the common fly might bring this disease to
your household, if you don't screen windows and
doors.
In China and Japan. human excretions frequently
are used as fertilizing material for vegetables.
This is a serious menace to health, because it has
been shown that the cystS of this parasite will re-
main alive in the moist excretions for as long as
two weeks, and when they contaminate the vege-
tables. they in this way may transmit the disease.
ONCE the organism may live in the inteStines for
- months or years without producing serious
symptoms. it is not possible TO say just how long a
time is required for infection to develop
However, there is some good evidence that the
swallowing of the cystS of entameba histoytica is
followed. in from ten TO ninety-dve days, with an
average period of sixty-five days by the beginning
of the symptoms characteristic of this disease.
Usually the disease comes on suddenly, but most
often it begins with mild diarrhea which gradually
becomes worse. When the disease begins suddenly.
there is severe abdominal pain. with nausea and
vomiting and chilly sensation. The irritation OF
the bowel becomes acute
This irritation may be so constant that the num-
Der of actions of the bowel will vary from six to
eight in twentyfour hours to as many as thirty to
forty in twenty-four hours.
A S a result. the patient rapidly becomes ex-
L n hausted. complains of aching in the back and
weakness in the legs. and is likely to be depressed
mentally. There may be little or no fever; in
severe cases the temperature reaches at most from
100 TO lo2 degrees but in very it may
higher.
AS result of the excessive action Of the bowel.
such patients have tenderness in the abdomen the
skin appears sallow and jaundiced and the patient
loses weight rapidly.
