Ticks: So Small And Yet So Deadly + -
Each year more cases of
(ever (RMSF) are reported
in North Carolina than
anywhere in the United
States.
A deadly disease, RMSF
is transmitted by the bite
from an Infected tick. Most
cases occur during the f
spring and summer months
when people are more
likely to be outdoors and
may be exposed to ticks.
If the disease is detected
early, it can be treated with
antibiotics and may cause
little more discomfort than
a common cold. If
untreated or undiagnosed,
it can be fatal within a few
weeks.
The symptoms for RMSF
and those for the flu are
similar - headaches, chills,
and muscle aches. But you
will run a higher fever with
RMSF (102 degrees or
higher). With RMSF, you
will also experience

QUESTION: Mr.
Charles, what shampoo
do you recommend for
the curl look? Some I
have tried leave my hair
brittle and hard.
ANSWER; Most com
mercial shampoos have
hydrolized protein re
constructors, detergent
tars, sulphurs and other
chemicals too numerous
to name. The Tricholo
gist or stylist is wiser to
stay with the ones that
have been tested and
monitored for side ef
fects and reliability. In
testingi products, we <
find that some have ter
rible results. The one I
, recommend mostly is
our Wunderlust Sham
poo; unless, of course,
there are other pro
blems to be considered.

In the more advanced
stages of RMSF, you may
notice a rash an your wrists
and ankles. This rash is the
result of tiny blood vessels
bleeding.
In the final stages of the
disease, major bleeding
occurs in the vital afgans-7
kidney, liver, and brain.
Be cautious. If you exper
ience a high fever and body
aches during the spring
and summer months,
check with a doctor to And
