Rocky Mountain spotted

lem in North Carolina which

blooded animals. Not
confined to dogs or man.
they will also attach to birds,
deer, cows, horses, etc.
In order to pass the
disease to humans, the tick
must have bitten the host
_ and have fed for 6-8 hours.
W Prompt inspection of body
and head upon return from
the outdoors is a good pre
ventive.
There is a right way and a
wrong way to remove a tick.
The right way is by using
tweezers, apply gentle pres
sure to pull the tick out.
trying to make sure that all

I lie mouth pan* are re
moved. II' there is a small
white plug of flesh at the end
of the tick, all the mouth
parts are out. The wrong w ay
to remove, is to jerk one out,
which mav leave the head
parts; to put a hot match
against one. which will only
make it dig in deeper; or to
apply a chemical in attempt
to force one to leave the skin
on its own. That won't work.
It is especially important to
check children for ticks and
remove thein promptly.
Children are not only sus
ceptible to Rocky Mountain
spotted fever, they are also
susceptible to tick paralysis,
a condition which occurs
when ticks embed them
selves. This condition will
correct itself w hen the tick is
removed.
The symptoms of Rocky
Mountain spotted fever are a J
rash on the extremities ac- I
companied by a fever.
Anyone having questions
about the disease or sus
pecting that they have it
should contact their physi
cian or call the county Health
Department at 296-0441.

unlucky that at one time in
Paris no houses had that

Tennis Courts
Near
Completion
Not many outdoor sports
can be played after dark.
Kcnansvillc's park has a
lighted softball field and will
soon open a lighted tennis
court.
Workers from Hanover
Company in Wilmington be
gan the final phases of
construction last Thursday.
Doug Judge of the Kenans
ville tennis court committee
said. After about a year's
delay, workers estimated the
Kenansville tennis courts
would be in use within a
week. Lighting the tennis
courts will be done by Julus
Jones of Kenansville. The
lighting system will be run
by a toll meter.
Contracts for the $30,000
project were awarded in the
fall of 1981. Judge said. The
tennis court foundation was
laid the following summer
and the fence installed in the
fall. According to Judge, two
flaws were left in the courts.
A water pocket and a low
spot were left in the courts,
and Judge said, even though
both flaws were outside the
playing area they were po
tential hazards to both the
players and a tennis game.
