Prevention Tips
For ‘Tick’ Fever
[Cont’d from page 1]
treatment for Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever.
The best prevention is to
avoid tick infested areas, such
as woods, and heavy brush
without wearing protective
clothing. High boots, long
sleeves, and hats are good
protection. Dogs, rabbits, and
cats which run at large may
collect ticks and bring them
into the house. They should
be inspected for ticks and any
found should be removed in
the way described above.
Children who play out-of
doors should be checked for
ticks twice a day during the

of producers registered to
plus Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands.
Work has already begun in
North Carolina, the state
conservationist said. In Yan
cey County, Ray Dorsett,
District Conservationist, will
be personally visiting at least
a dozen sample sites. These
sites were random picked on a
Yancey County road map. On
these sites he will be
evaluating 20 study factors
including kind of soil, slope,
climate, crop sequence and
conservation measures in use.
SCS field employees are
visiting some 72,500 sample
sites across the nation.
Field work for the first
part of the inventory will be
completed by November 1,
1977. State-by-state data will
be available May 1, 1978.
Sediment yield estimates will
be completed in mid-1979.

warm months. Pay special
attention to the head.
Since ticks like brushy
places, weeds should be kept
cut near houses. Pesticides,
such as Sevin, applied at a
rate of two pounds of actual
pesticide per acre, may also
be used to treat limited areas.
A vaccine to prevent the
disease is recommended each
year for people who work in
the woods or brush, such as
forest rangers, telephone
lineman and lumbermen.
So, after being out in |
brushy, grassy places, check I

and avoid Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever.
