Safe, Clean Enviroment Is Key

Today, as well as yesterday, a
safe, « >m fort able. and '-loan en
vironment is l>asic lo the health
of a community, city, country or
state.
As far hack as history is re
corded. flics and rats have lived
with mankind. Both arc enemies
of man, yet have been permitted
to share his environment, not by
preference but by careless indif
ference. Tlie presence of these
enemies in our midst has brought
untold misery and death to mati
k,nd through their plague* of
diseases. Hats are omnivorous,
ferociojs and completely dcstruo
tive of natural resources includ
ing all forms of life. Vet. the
board hill and cost of shelter for
these destructive forces of man's
health and hapincss. have always
been home by their hosts.
Bubonic nlague, once called the
black death, swept across Europe
in successive epidemics from the
fourteenth to the eighteenth een
tury. This disease is transmitted
by fleas from rats to human be
ings. In that catastrophe, it is es
timated that at least one-fourth
of the European population or ap
proximately 23 million people di«-d
of the disease. Mass hysteria, so
cial disintegiation. and general
disorder caused economic, politl
> al and mural degradation to
follow.
M bile no cases of this disease
h «v e even been reported in North
Carolina and it has never been
widespread in the t'nited States,
there have Ix-en recorded ,V>.»
cases in this e mntry during the
present century. Of these, 3ls
died.

1929 through 193s there were
1-349 cases of this disease report
ed to the N >rfh Carolina State
Koartl of Health. About two j»er
i-ent died.
Salninri«lh»>,s, a food infection
disease, is often transmitted to
man from food contaminah-d with
infected rat urine or feces. The
case fatality rate of this disease
is about one per «-ent.
leptospirosis can he acquired
by man fr >m food or water mn
tammated hv rat excreta or from
the handling of infected rats. In
outbreaks 0f this disease, mortal
ity has varied from four to ts
per «i*nt.
Rat-bite fever, which is caused,
as its name signifies, by the bite
of infected rats, has a case mor
tality rate of about in per cent in
untreated cases. In a study made
of 93 persons bitten by rats, seven
developed this disease. Children
are usually the victims.
Men and rats are endowed by
nature with powers of adaptabili
ty not possessed by other living
things. Both have displaved the
ability to live and reproduce their
kind at almost any place on earth.
In spite of the efforts we have
made toward rat eradication, the
population of these rodents keeps ,
pace with that of man. Experts

estimate I ho number of rats in
tho United SulM to bo approxi
matolv tho same a* that of tho
human population. Man live*
longer hut rats compensate for
thi* hy a far moro rapid rate of
reproduction. They reprodu,v in
Just 25 days with littors ranging
from six to 14. Each fomalo rat
reproduces several littors oa»-h
year with the number depending
on food, warmth and shelter.
It would serin logical, there
fore, that control of the rodents,
along with their parasites, would
be tho action on tho part of man
to deprive them these essentials
for survival. How may this he
accomplished on such vectors that
are as numerous in our society,
as we ourselves are? Simply In
putting into practice those sanita
tion practices which are essential
to our survival in the environ
ment in which we live, such as:
1. Hat proofing of buildings and
containers in which foodstuffs
are ston-d on a community-wide
basis.
2. {elimination of food and har
borage by keeping gartwge in
tightly covered metal containers,
and rubbish and trash kept off
the ground from which they can
feed or build nests.
.1. Eradication by noons of
IHtisoned bait; shooing, clubbing
or trapping; and use of predators,
such as cats, dogs and ferrets.
However, it takes a combination
of all these to do a total job of
eradication.
Food should he treated as po
tential sustenance for rats and
flies from tlie moment it is ac
quired until final disposal of the
garbage by adhering to the fol
lowing:
1. Prior to preparation or serv
ing. all foods should lx- stored in
ratproof containers.
2 Foods for chickens, hogs or
other animals should he stored in
rat-pro >f building or containers.
3. Scraps of food should not he
left on the table, sink, drain
hoard. floor or any place that can
be reached by rats.
1. flarhage should lie kept in
metal containers at all times.
Never throw it on the ground
5. The garbage «-an lid should
he tight fitting and keut on at all
times ex,-opt when its removal is
necessary in order to deposit gar
hage. clean the can or rem >\e
garbage.
fi. t'afes and other commercial
establishments should store gar
bage cans In rat proof, fly-proof
garbage container houses.
Garbage should he collected
at least nru-e a week in r>*sidential
areas and daily in business sec
tions.
K Garbage should hr disposed
of by sanitary landfills or in, in
oration Never u*e an open dump.
