European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 02, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse Saturday. September 2, 1989 the stars and stripes Page 25 outdoor adventures tick borne diseases pose for Cerf Hunters fishermen Volks marchers and others who spend time at their Field avocations need to remember that ticks arc still As thick As Ever and becoming More of a menace. The danger of getting Lyme disease or encephalitis is High this year especially during the months of september and october. Ticks transmit the diseases to humans and there arc cases of this happening in Europe and the United states. It s important to be mindful of the danger so will share some information recently obtained from a Usa eur eur release on ticks and the diseases. While dressing properly and limiting outdoor activities May reduce the risk of being bitten by ticks the possibility of being bitten always remains. What do you do if you re bitten and if you Are bitten what symptoms of illness should you be aware of according to col. Or Michael Bennson head of7th medical come s preventive Medicine a tick that has attached itself to your skin should be remove carefully and quickly As possible. The safest Way to remove the tick which is taking a meal of your blood once it s attached is with tweezers or Small forceps. You should grasp the tick As close to its Mouth As possible and slowly pull upward he said. Bennson docs not recommend other methods of removing ticks such As applying gasoline or kerosene because these methods Are More Likely to in Tate the tick causing it to spew germs into the skin. Victims of tick bites should Check the bite area for several weeks to Sec if a rash forms Bennson said. A rash is frequently the first symptom of Lyme disease is the most prevalent tick borne illness in the United states and its incidence in Europe is in the rash usually starts at the bite area appearing As an expanding ring that can be 6 inches in diameter or More. Other rings can develop within the larger ring. The rash tends to Burn More than itch. Along with the rash flu Type symptoms develop and continue for a few Days. Fever sore Throat headache and nausea arc among the symptoms. Without treatment sufferers from Lyme disease May experience complications of the heart nervous system or joints. Most patients do not develop these symptoms if treated Early. Treatment Benenson explained is with antibiotics. Another More serious tick borne illness is encephalitis or inflammation of the brain. Symptoms of this disease Range from headache fever and abdominal pain to paralysis. Unlike Lyme disease there really is no treatment for tick borne encephalitis because it is a viral illness Bennson said. We May be Able to treat some of the symptoms but we have no treatment for the disease per so. Until we have an approved vaccine by the food and drug administration we must rely on preventive measures to reduce the incidence of tick borne if you Are bitten by a tick and you later experience any of the symptoms associated with these diseases you should seek medical care As soon As possible bin Enson recommended. You should ensure that the medical practitioner knows that you have been recently bitten by a tick. This will assist in proper treatment because the symptoms can resemble other ticks carrying such illnesses can infect mammals through bites during the life Span of the that become infected however arc not contagious according to Bennson. There is a greater concern for transmission of these diseases now than in the previous years because we be had Back to Back mild Winters which have resulted in a tremendous increase in the tick Bench son Only a percentage of the ticks May transmit these diseases that number is greater because of the larger population. Bennson said that the health risks were especially High in the Eastern bavarian and Black Forest regions of West Germany. Maj. Gen. Richard t. Travis commander of 7th medical come Europe commented recently that Al though a vaccine has been developed it has not received approval by the food and drug adm Nistra Are studying the prevalence of tick borne ill Nesses and the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine in a lest group that is at High risk to lick exposure Travis said. Until we Complete the evaluation of 9ur data to recommend action by inc Fra we caution soldiers and families to use common sense preventive measures during outdoor to reduce the risk of tick bites people should Wear clothing Hal covers the most vulnerable areas of their bodies the lower extremities when they arc in wooded areas. Bennson said. Don l go Barefoot or Wear sandals. Wear shoes with socks. Try to stay on cleared trails avoid Bushes Check clothing periodically for ticks and use an in Eccl repel commercial insect repellents con Tain duct which repels ticks. The last thing we should do to avoid the danger is stay Home and not go to in Woods or the Field. There s no need to go to that cd Remc. Probably the Best thing is to be aware of the potential problem and be observant. Check for ticks after you be been Oul enjoying the outdoors. Safe football \ ,.
