spotted Fever ' spurs concern in Lincoln
J- .... A. -
ByJudl Nyircn
Two recently confirmed cases of Rocky
. Mountain Spotted Fever in the Lincoln
area have spurred concern among Lin
coln citizens and the medical com
munity, according to the Lincoln-Lancaster
County Health Department.
"We have received many phone calls
from people who have been bitten by
ticks or want more information " said
Carol Mitchell, a registered nurse at
the health department.
: Because Lincoln citizens live in an
area infested with ticks, Mitchell said,
they should call the health depart
ment for information, but "it's not a
matter of panic." It is the exceptional
tick that carries the disease, she said.

Although most ticks are disease
free, it only takes one "exceptional"
tick to spread the possibly fatal illness.
Some of the symptoms people should
be aware of include a moderate to high
fever, chills, a severe'headache, deep
muscular or joint pains, nausea, vomit
ing, cramps, a sore throat and sensitiv
ity to light. A rash which develops on
the palms of the hands and the soles of
the feet and quickly spreads over the
body also may be an indication of the
illness. These symptoms usually occur
three to 14 days after an infectious tick
bite.
. Whether or not it carries the infec-
ton, the health department recommends
removing a tick immediately. To remove
an embedded tick use fingers or tweezers
to grasp the tick close to the skin. After
grasping it, pull slowly and steadily
until it comes free. Do not twist or jerk
the tick. If the tick's head or mouth
parts stay under the skin, use a clean
needle to remove it and gently apply
an antiseptic.
Ticks usually embed themselves at
the base of the head at he hairline or
in the scalp, but the health depart
ment recommends that a person check
every body part after each outdoor
trip.

The potential may not
be there in part because
the lendirfg opportunities
may not be there. The
graduate may have to
look for non-farm income
at least for a partial
supplement to get him
back onto the farm," he
said.
Riding an "uphill
market" will be difficult
for young farmers, John
sqn said. Interest rates
need to come down to
boost the economy, he
said. But, Johnson said
he doesn't see that happen
ing, at least for now.
There's a higher prob
ability of interest rates
staying where they are,"
Johnson said.
