AT On age when they are Just
learning 10 walk and are less

are often ied by natural curiosity
into some tragic fnishap. De-
tailed information concerning
such caiamities were revealed BY
the death records OF 220 insured
children under age 8 who died
from scaids during tho years 1888
10 1887.
Some OF the more unusual con.
ditlons responsible for these trag-
ic deaths were o leaking hot
water bag, unduly long exposure
10 steam inhaling kettles, explo-
sion OF q Group kettle, swallowing
hot water from q teapot, and
scaiding Of hands and arms under
o faucet turned on by tho child
while the mother was momen-
tarily absent from the room.
Falling into containers OF hot or
boiling fluids was the most FREE
quent cause Of fatal scaiding, and
accounted for the deaths OF 1875,

Death By Scalding!

by falling into them.
Among slightly older children,
from 2 70 . years OF age, whose

That new parrots are not want

from the state department Of OF
health weekly bulletin which re-
ports q revision Of the state san
itawy code TO prohibit importation
Of ell birds belonging TO the
pslttacine family instead Of limit
Ing the regulation Of parrakeetS or
love birds. The purpose OF this
regulation Is 10 protect the people
Of Connecticut and the birds al
ready In the state from o serious
bird disease called psittacosis
which IN recent years has up.
ptared more and more often.
TIE psittacine family Of birds
includes such well known birds as
parrots. parrakeets or love birds,
and also includes such birds as
cpckatoo, iory, lorikeet, macaw.
and owi-pArot. Under the regu-
lation Is II now stands, the I'M
portation, purchase, breeding or
sale or even giving away OF any
Of these birds 10 prohibited.
The reasons for placing these
restrictions on birds Of the psit.
tacine family may be stated very
briefly. Birds Of this family har.
Dor the virus OF psittacosis, which
when conveyed 10 humans, Is q
very serious disease. A rather ex-
tensive outbreak OF psittacosis
caught from parrots shipped into
this country from South America
occurred during the winter OF 1920
and 1880. This outbreak included
cases In Connecticut and quite O
number OF other states. Not long
after this outbreak subsidized, IL be.
came apparent that psittacosis was
being carried 10 different parts OF
the country by parrakeets shipped
from the west coast. Accordingly,
Connecticut along with q number
OF other states prohibited the pur.
chase, sale or transportation Of
parrakeets OF owe birds.
From more recent experience. II
appears that more rigid require
ssaents are necessary TO further re-
duce the hazard OF psittacosis
Cases reported from New York
state and New York City where
the source OF infection could not
bo determined resulted In action
being taken 10 bar oil birds OF the
psittacine family. Thus. II was
only natural that Connecticut
should take similar action which
has been done.
n may be added that barring
birds Of the psittacine family, not
only protects humans from psIt-
taoosis, but also protects other
birds from the same disease. Many
kinds OF birds are susceptible Ia
psittacosis infection. When they
are associated with infected birds
Of the psittacine family. they may
become infected and spread the
disease 10 other birds or 10 hu.
mans. On the whole II ID better 10
keep psittacosis out OF the state
than attempt 10 combat II after
II once gains admission. One diff
ficulty In dealing with the prob
lem Is that birds may be carriers
Of the infection and the carrier
state cannot be determined 30 long
as the birds remain healthy with
out doing On autopsy and exam
ing the tissues. Thus, there Is NC
way Of being sure that q bird ID
not Q carrier Of this infection and
still have the bird.
