McDowell, Health Officer TYPHOID FEVER IX PINETOPS • ' ’ ■ >’ typhoid fever has v" reported and investigated in Pinetops. Although this case isa mild one, the cases which might result from this could be serious. Individual cases arc dif ferent. This in lection, which is caused by the typhoid bacillus usually en tering the body by drinking con taminated water or eating con taminated food, is dreaded with the approach of summer. Typhoid fever is a serious disease. It may begin in from 3 to 38 days after infection, but usually in from 10 to 14 days. The infected person may feel tired and out of sorts for a few days, and then other symptons may begin to develop, loss of appetite, a dull headache, fever which rises a little higher each day for the first week and constipation or dearrhea. About the seventh day a rash, consist ing of small rose colored spots is likely to appear on the stomach and chest. Continuous fever for t rom two to four weeks is com mon. The average duration of ill ness, including convalencenee is about 9 weeks, but convalencenee may be unusually long if the at tack is severe or if there are com plecations. The germs of typhoid are pres ent in the intestinal and urenary tract of a person infected with the disease, or of a carrier and are spread to other people chiefly in water polluted with infected body wastes. For example if a water supply is polluted with drainage from poorly built or imporperly located privy vaults in unsewered districts, or if human discharges left on the ground drain into wa ter systems, wells or springs, the water may be infected with ty phoid fever germs. Typhoid fever germs often get into milk thru carelessness or lack of cleanliness on the part of those who handle it. When milk is pasteurized - heated to 146 degrees F. for 30 minutes - typhoid fever germs are killed. These typhoid fever germs may enter the intestines with raw food which has been grown in con taminated soil or water. Flies may carry the germs and in this way contaminate milk and other food. i lie neaiui uepai imem. anu tuc community working together can stamp out typhoid fever. This is proved by the fact that in 1940 there were no deaths from typhoid fever in 41 large cities located in various parts of the United Stat es, The typhoid fever rate dropp ed from 20.54 per 100,000 popula tion in 1910 to 0.48 in 1940, the lowest on record. However, each year about 10,000 persons in the United States and Canada con tract typhoid fever and 1,600 die of it. Today it is not necessary that a single individual have typhoid fever. Typhoid fever vaccination prevents the disease. Go to your family physician for your typhoid vaccination or to the local health department. The health depart ment holds an immunization clinic every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 4 in Tarboro and each Saturday from 10 to 12 in Halifax. In addi tion a series of clinics will be held throughout the district, starting May 15. Let us summarize the ways of preventing typhoid fevrr: First - Be sure that you use pure water. It is never safe to drink from wells, springs, ponds, rivers, lakes or other sources where the water has not been tested and approved for drinking, even though it may look clear and sanitary, Second - Use pasteurized milk from clean dairies and clean food that is protected from flies. Milk which is boiled in the home is safe Third - Be vaccinated against typhoid fever and have all the members of your family vaceinat-i ed. | Fourth - All persons having the, disease or suspcted of having it should be reported at once to the! local health department. Fifth - Waste matter from per sons having typhoid fever should be mixed immediately with chlor-1 inated lime or carbolic acid to kill the typhoid germs. 1 Your health department asks our cooperation in stamping out i FOUR CASES OF ; diphtheria ; I>r.
