Spotted Fever Tick
Warming Issued

ticks, the carriers of spotted
fever, have been reported unusually
prevalent in various areas of Mary
land this year, DR.. c. H. Halliday,
State epidemiologist, warned.
He cautioned the public to be on
| the watch for them, stating that spot
ted fever has occurred in every coun-
ty in the State since 1t was first rec
ognized here in 1929.
Only about one in every 800 ticks
is capable of injecting humans, said
DR.. Halliday; among the humans who
contract the disease mortality is
about 25 per cent. From a clinical
standpoint, DR.. Halliday went on,
anyone who has the disease Is con-
sidered critically ill for from five
DAYS to two weeks and the GONZALES
cent period runs several weeks
longer.
First symptoms, said DR.. Halliday,
are fever, severe headache and
eruptions of the skin which appear
first on the ankles and wrists, spread
ing to other parts of the body. There
is no special treatment for the allie
ton, DR.. Halliday said, but if the
malady Is suspected physician
should be called at once.
DR.. Halliday said that if person
has been bitten by tick infected
with spotted fever, the disease will
develop before laboratory tests can
be completed. But that if a tick is re-
moved within four hours after at
tachment, the danger of infection is
greatly reduced, said the doctor.
Ticks should not be removed with the
fingers, but with forceps.
If the tick is embedded and full of
blood, extreme care should be taken
not to crush it. Parts from which
ticks are removed should be painted
Immediately with an antiseptic solu-
ton.
Mr.. Halliday advised all persons
exposed to ticks to make careful
search, especially back of the neck,
inside the ears, and under the arms,
as these are the favorite attachment
sites of the dog-tick A careful search
of the body and prompt removal OF
ticks is the most effective means of
combating the disease, he said. So
far the use of sulfa drugs has been
ineffective in the treatment of the
malady.
/ Spotted fever was recognized first
in the Rocky Mountain states in
| 1899 and the first case reported in
Maryland was in Charles County in
1929. Last year there 81 cases in the
counties and one in Baltimore. The
disease has been most prevalent in
the vicinity of Laurel and in areas
| of Prince Georges, Montgomery
Anne Arundel, Frederick and Car
roll counties 1t has appeared in the
Reisterstown, Essex and Middle Riv-
er sections also.
DR.. Halliday said the United States
Public Health Service has developed
a vaccine which has proved of great
value in preventing spotted fever and
can be obtained free at the State
/ Health Department and at adj county
health offices. But the vaccine is OF
no value after the tick is buried into
the flesh. 1t is most effective If ad-
ministered about ten days before eX-
posture.
