The Connecticut Humane Society today issued
warning to animal owners to keep their cats dogs and
cattle away from recently sprayed trees Some animals
especially dogs and cats under sprayed trees and
wash their feet and often poisoned Cattle too have
been poisoned result of eating grass under sprayed
trees Professional spraying concerns usually post
poison signs but individual Sprayers are not apt to use
this precauon but should Sprayers, also, should verb
ally notify the animal in their neghborhood Of
the area that has been sprayed that each pet owner
may make sure that his animals properly confined
during the period that the poison might take effect
Another precauon would be to soak the poison into the
ground The Humane Society suggests that if an animal
cup of luke water forced into the pet Immediately
antidote but the animal should be taken to
a Veterinarian soon as it shows any symptoms OF
poisoning.

Public Health Service recognizes that
there Is problem to be faced, but
Is not particularly worried about 1t.
There is plenty of evidence that
civilians can be protected against
malarial infection.
The current worry reminds the
experts Of the period before the
war when both whites and negroes
were moving from southern areas
where malaria Is endemic, to
northern cities which has mosqui-
toes Of the anopheles family but
no malarial problem. The north
erners were worried then, but
nothing happened.
SMALL OUTBREAKS
Perhaps more pertinent, since
in warmer climates the anopheles
breeds the year around, instead
Of only for short season, was the
experience Of southern California
In the sos,
For years there have been foci
Of infection for malaria in that
area--ever since the days Of the
'49ers, in fact. During the depres-
sion thousands Of persons driven
out Of the dust bowl, showing a
very high incidence Of malarial in
lection, migrated to this section.
There was present every condition
that will be found when our men
come back from Africa, Sicily,
India, Italy, Burma, South China,
and the islands OF the Pacific.
The scourge that might have
been anticipated failed to develop.
There were two small outbreaks.
One was confined to a migrant
camp whose residents already
were malarial in high percent
age Of cases. The other was quick
ly localized and brought under
control.
Because malaria Is so dreadfully
prevalent among so many Of our
service men abroad 1t may be
worth repeating here what many
laymen do not understand.
NO POSITIVE CURE
There Is no known antitoxin for
malaria, and no positive cure.
Once the parasite has been plant
ed in the blood by mosquito,
the best drugs presently known
merely suppress the disease. In
about half the cases that suppress
sion is permanent, in the other
half relapses occur.
The preventive Is mosquito
control. BY throwing up a pro-
tected area a mile in depth around
all infected area, the anopheles
can be kept from getting its drink
Of infected blood from which to
carry malaria to new victims.
Thus far, control measures to
prevent the introduction of such
other tropical diseases as yellow
fever, plague, cholera, dengue, etc.,
have proven very effective.
There is always very real dan
ger that the airplanes now shut
Ting by thousands between the
United States and areas where
such diseases are endemic may
bring them in. But spraying and
control measures to kill off insect
carriers, and air quarantine to
catch passengers who might be
infected, are proving successful.
Health officials do not foresee
any danger of these being brought
back by returning troops because
all such men are inoculated,
before they leave this country
against everything for which
there is a practicable inoculant,
and this immunization program has
protected them to a high degree.
So experts in this field hope
that civilians will cease worrying
about dangers which are almost
non-existant, and against which
every precaution is being taken.
