"They Say the Scenery Here b WaaderfeO" Jl winking] |1 WATER \ Sanitation: Way To Survive. And Thrive Say Specialists By JAMES B. SPEARS. R. S. Sanitarian Specialist Cleveland County Health Department If control of the environment Is fundamental to man's health and happiness, as indeed it is, what controls are basic and why ? Those necessary to attain a high level of sanitation in the food we eat. the water we diink. the dwellings in which we re side. and the air we breathe are basic because they tire the fac tors that provide the essentials of life. Traditionally, the control of the sanitary aspect of these es sentials of life has emphasized survival *»f the fittest, notably through the isolation of the un healthy victims of epidemic di seases. who died from the ma ladies produced by pathogenic organisms. But. today, sanitary control of man' environment is more than a means to survive— it is a means to thrive. It is more titan the control of the disease producing organism itself — it is the control of the environment to the extent that disease pro ducing organisms have a mini mum opportunity to survive bo cause they have been denied their essentials of life through a clean environment. They have also been denied vehicles by which to spread disease germs to their most favorable plaee of abode — the human body. DISEASE CARRIERS How are disease pr«»ducing or ganisms carried from an un healthy person? The air is one means of spreading eommunica ble diseases, but only on a limit ed basis, and principally through carriers, or by personal contact of the healthy individual with the unhealthy persons, and then only when indifferent attitudes and practices jv-rsist as to sani tation and (HTsonal hygiene. These are limited means of com municable disease dissemination in our society. By far. the most common, the most numerous, the most filthy, the most obnoxious and the most dangerous to health arc flies. It has been proved that they trans mit dysentery-, enteritis, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, anthrax, cho lera and smallpox. They are sus pected as being instrumental in spreading poliomyelitis, skin in fections and diseases of the eyes. They are no .-••specters of persons and are found where the environment is favorable to their habitats. The fly is very filthy in its habits. They an* often found resting on human foees, sputum.j manure, garbage, decaying ani mal flesh, and other forms of filth, t'pon leaving these places 4th ARTICLE IN A SERIES they visit the kitchen where i they walk on your biscuits and pics, contaminate your milk and other foodstuffs, and gather around the lips. eyes, and nurs ing bottles of babies. Flies’ bodies are so constructed that filth readily clings to their hairy bodies and sticky feet and drops off when the fly lights. Filth is also distributed through their in testinal tracts — creating the fly spei-s often seen on walls, ceil ing and other places. These specks are made by either vomit or feces Would you think of put ting filth and manure on your dinner table? B> allowing flies in your home, you are permitting this to be done. DEVELOPMENT The development of a fly takes from six to 20 days. First, a fly lays eggs in groups of from 100 to 150 in decaying matter, usual-; ly hatching within eight to 20 hours into small, whitish mag gots. The maggots grow and aft er five to 14 days change into pttpae — seed like in appearance and having brownish shells. Within the shell the maggot changes and finally emerges as an adult fly. Maggots will de velop in any moist, warm, de caying organic matter regard less of how filthy it is. Privies, horse stables, chicken yards, cow sheds, decaying fruit and vegetables, compost piles, ma nure and garbage are the most common places of breeding. However, in many city surveys, flies have been found breeding in garbage cans more than any other places. For the most part, flies remain near the breeding place, but large numbers migrate for great distances, sometimes ten to 12 miles. Tests run by the U. S. Public Health Service show that the places they visit are not gov erned by random dis|>ersal but are determined by the presence of attractants. such as d<*caying ! fruits, garbage, dog kennels. chicken coops or manure. For this reason large numbers of flies may frequent a neighbor hood, which has no suitable breeding pla<-es, if attraetants are present. FLY CONTROL Satisfactory fly control can be accomplished by cleanliness. In order to obtain satisfactory fly control, these three important things should be done: 1. Destroy breeding places and attraetants by cleaning up all filth. Use proper type garbage containers. 2. Screen all homes, cafes, abattoirs, meat markets, and other food-handling places. 3. Use insecticides only after breeding places and attraetants are eliminated. As has already been said, cleanliness is essential in obtain ing satisfactory fly control. No accumulations of decaying or ganic matter should be main tained at a location accessible to these insects. It is preferrable that all animals be excluded from the area. If this cannot be done, the manure should be dis posed of daily by hauling it off. spreading it out thinly on the ground where it can dry or stor ing it in fly-proof containers. All human body waste should be disposed of in such a manner that flies have no oppnrtunity to come in I’ontaet with it. Garbage should be stored in fly-proof garbage cans approved by the local health department. Clean garbage cans weekly, and keep them on a platform or slab made of concrete or other im pervious material. Vehicles haul ing garbage should be covered and cleaned thoroughly, and treated with insecticides at dose of days work. Garbage should never be dumped nor left to de cay at 'ome out-of-the-way place near your home or that of a neighbor, but should be buried in a sanitary landfill. All privies should he constructed and main tained in accordance with the specifications of the North Caro lina State Board of Health Ask your local health depart ment for detailed instructions re garding the selection and use of insecticides in your area, and for advice regarding other phases of fly control. Your health depart ment has an adequate supply of Malathion available to give any one who would come by and pick it up. It is effective for fly control.
