Quit Bugging Me
Warm weather brings many
things with it, including ore insects.
Mosquitoes, flies, ticks and fleas are
all bothersome, but any people really
dread bees and wasps. But, if we
learn a little bit about bees and wasps,
we can avoid them more easily. And
that means we can reduce our chances
of being stung.
Bees and wasps (which includes
hornets and yellow jackets) are kind
of like distant cousins to each other.
They have some basic things in com
mon, but they are different from each
other, too. They are all flying insects,
Pour the marinade over the meat; f all have work to do, and all have
cover and refrigerate until you are
ready to grill. Both they dressing and
the sauce cost under $3 .00.
Variation: A variation on both of
your above ideas is cut your meat

skewers if you have them or else there
are bamboo sticks available for less

homes. Also, many of the females
will sting to defend themselves. Yet,
they are different from each other, do
different kinds of work, live in dif
ferent kinds of homes, and some are
less likely to sting than others.
Generally, bees are less likely to
sting than wasps are. This is because
most kinds of bees are solitary (live

it's quite easy to grill up veggies as a
side dish. Using skewers is the best
way to keep the vegetables from fall
ing into the grill. Save some mari
nade to pour over veggies as you grill ;
them, and even toss a bit more on af
ter they are cooked, for flavorful and
healthy experience. Some vegetables;
you can use are: onions, tomatoes,'
greenred peppers and mushrooms.
Make sure you cut pieces big enough,
that they can be skewered without
breaking. It does work best to put all
the same veggies on a skewer. On-'
ions might take a while to cook but
the tomatoes go fast so you can'
keep things from burning by waiting
to put them on until the beat is almost
ready. Be safe and have fun while '

In the Spotlight
On June 3rd, 2000, Terri Carnes;
achieved an outstanding accomplish
ment. Terri, 19, completed her high
school career by graduating from
Madras High School. Terri was origi-'
nally in the graduating class of 1998,
but she took some time off to have
her children. Terri took a year off of ,
school to work after giving birth to
her son Te-Yush-Y in April 1998.
Then after having her daughter, Se-'
quoia in July 1999, Terri only took
six months off. When Terri was asked ,.
how she achieved, she said it wasn't
easy. When Terri attended Buff
Learning Center she would have to
re-enroll every time she stayed home
longer than three days to take care of
her children if they got sick. When
COIC returned to Warm springs, she
went there in the mornings to com
plete her work at her own pace. Af
ter she left COIC, Terri would work
eight hours behind Kah-Nee-Ta
Lodge's front desk in the evenings.
Terri didn't have regularly scheduled
days off, it varied on a weekly basis.
But that didn't stop her form going
everyday. Terri says that determina-i
tion was her key to success. She also,
says that she couldn't have done it
without the support from her boy
friend, Lil Bull Owl Suppah, his
mother Mercedes Miler and his sis
ter Penny. They took care of the chil
dren while Terri worked and attended;
school. Terri is originally from Phoe
nix, Arizona and is an enrolled mem
ber of the San Carlos Apache Tribe.
Terri said that life was pretty hard
moving from Arizona to Oregon. She
had few friends and no family other
the Lil Bulls. Terri also thanks her
friends Lori Suppah, Carol and Joe
Tombom and Cyndi Treadway fro
helping make her life easier by sup
porting her and helping her feel at
home.
Terri's advice to other teen par
ents is to set your mind and heart on
something and believe that your can
get it done. "Life is too precious to
nectar to feed themselves and their
young. Three kinds of bees that most
people know about are honeybees,
bumblebees and carpenter bees. Hon
eybees are social bees; this means that
they live in large communities (called
nests or hives) and work together to
raise young and to maintain the nest.
They are small, furry and yellowish
with black markings.
Bumble sees are much larger
than honeybees (4-5 times bigger)
and usually are yellow and black and
make a deeper buzzing sound.
Bumblebees live in communities like
honeybees do, but there are fewer
bees in a bumblebee nests than hon
eybee nests. Carpenter bees look
very much like bumblebees but are
not as fuzzy and carpenter bees are
solitary, so they do not live in com
munity nest. Instead, each female
makes her own burrows in wood
(that's why they are called carpenter
bees) where she puts pollen and then
lays her eggs. Because honeybees
live in very large communities where
they raise may many your, they are
very protective of their hives.. So, if
someone disturbs their nest, they will
sting to defend it. Bumblebees are
also protective of their nests but are
not as likely to sting as honeybees.
Because carpenter bees are solitary, ,
they have no community to defend,
so they are les likely to sting unless
they are squished.
Unlike bees that collect pollen
and nectar for food, wasps hunt in
sects to eat and to feed their young.
Adult wasps also drink sugary flower
nectar for extra energy. Like bees,
some wasps are social and some are
solitary (some live in communities
and some live alone).
Yellow jackets and hornets are
social wasps: they build communities
and work as a group to raise the
young. So, an important part of their
job is protecting the 'babies' of the
community. That mean they are very
aggressive when their nests are dis
turbed. Both yellow jackets and hor
nets build their nests of wood that
they have chewed to make a past, but
yellow jackets build their nests un
derground while hornets build theirs
above ground in trees cr bushes.
Yellow jackets are usually yellow
with black markings and are large and
longer than honeybees. Hornets are
larger that yellow jacket and they are
black with white or yellow markings.
There are many other kinds of
wasps besides yellow jackets and hor
nets. Other wasps are generally very
slender, they are usually shiny and
can be black, brown or reddish in
color. Some may have minor yellow
or white markings. Paper wasps build
nests of chewed wood and mud daub
ers build their homes with mud. AH
wasps hang on with their mouthparts
w hen they sting, so they can sting re
peatedly.
Now, if we remember what these
insects look like and which are ag
gressive, we have taken a big step
towards not being stung. If we also
think about where they like and work,
we can be even more careful. Be
cause yellow jackets build their nests
in the ground, its very hard to know a
nest exists unless you see a yellow
jacket entering or leaving the nest
from the small hole in the ground.
Often people are stung by yellow
jackets when they mow across the
nest entrance or disturb the nest in
some other way (digging around it,
etc.) Also, yellow jackets are at
tracted to sugary substances like soda,
juice and fruit and they are attracted
to carrion , so they are often in and
around trashcans and may crawl in
side drink cans or bottles. Hornets
and paper wasps, which build nests
in trees, under eave, under awnings,
etc., are often disturbed and sting
when people are cutting wood or
pruning treesbushes, cleaning gutters
or repairing roofs. Bee stings can
happen when people sit in clover or
i in wild flowers and when people are
gardening or picking flowers, don't
see the bee and accidentally grab it,
squish it or sit on it.
Being aware and careful in these
situations can really help to prevent
stings. There are a few other things
to remember, too. Bees, yellow jack
ets, hornets, and other wasps are less
active in the dark and cool hours, so
plan to do certain chores, like mow
ing the lawn, in the evening (but
please don't mow in the dark). Wear
ing light-colored, drab clothing is less
likely to attract these insects and
wearing fitted clothing rather than
baggy of flowing clothes reduced the
chances that a stinging insect will
become trapped inside your clothing.
Also, avoid wearing perfume or other
fragranced products because they can
attract stinging insects. And, finally,
don't swat at them!
However, if you are stung, it is
important to know what to do. Re
member that these insects are most
likely to sting when you are neat their
nests, so your first reaction should be
to run at least 50-1 00 feet away from
. the area where you are stung. When
they sting, bees and wasps release an
'alarm pheromone' - a chemical sig
nal that tells the others in the com
munity that the nest is in danger - so
the others in the nest will fly toward
that signal to help. So, if you fun,
you are moving away from that sig
' nal, and you will decrease your
chances of being stung agam.
Honeybees loose their stingers
when they sting (this means they die
after they sting), and the stinger of
ten remains on your skin. The stinger
will be visible and should be removed
by scraping it out with a driver's li
cense, credit card, or something simi
lar. Do not remove a stinger by pinch
ing it with your fingers or with twee
zers because you will squeeze more
venom into your skin. Wasps, yel
' low jackets, hornets and most bees
don not lose their stingers when they
sting. So, if you are stung by one of
these gals, your next step after run
ning should be to stop them from
stinging you as quickly as possible
(it's okay to smack these insects now
because they are already stinging
you) Then, you should treat the sting,
Taking and over-the-counter antihis
tamine such as diphenhydramine
(Benadryl) and a pain reliever
(ibuprofen or acetaminophen will
help control your body's reaction to
the sting and ease the pain and swell
ing. Applying ice wrapped in a towel
can also decrease discomfort and sell
ing. Making a paste out of meat ten
derizer and water and applying it to
your skin will help to break dow n the
protein in the insect's venom. Be sure
to use a brand of tenderizer that con
tains papain (papaya fruit enzyme).
After being stung, if you begin to get
hives, have a dry cough of difficulty
breathing, have abdominal pain, feel
nauseated or vomit go to the emer
gence room for treatment because
you are probably having an allergic
reaction that can be deadly.
Remember, if you know that you
are allergic to any stinging insects or
if you have a parent, who is allergic,
please talk with your health care pro
vider now about what to do if you
stung. Hopefully, by knowing a little
more about bees and wasps, you and
your family will be able to avoid be
ing stung. Best wishes for a summer
free of stings.

HIS Question of the Month:
"What is the Chicken Pox Vac
cine and what are the requirements?"
This month, EHS Home Visitor
Gabby Sohappy asked the question,"
What is the Chickenpox Vaccine and
Why do you need one?
Chicken pox, (also called Vari
cella) is a common childhood disease.
It is usually mild, but can be serious,
especially in young infants and adults.
The chickenpox virus can be spread
from person to person through air, or
by contact with fluid from the
chickenpox blisters. It causes rash,
itching, fever and tiredness. It can also
lead to severe skin infection, scars
pneumonia, brain damage or death.
About 12,000 peope are hospitalized
from chickenpox each year in the
United States. The Chickenpox vac
cine can prevent chickenpox. Most
people who get the chickenpox vac
cine will not get chickenpox. But if
someone who has been vaccinated
does get chickenpox, it is usually very
mild. They will have fewer spots, are
less likely to have a fever and will
recover faster.
Who should get Chickenpox
Vaccine and When?
Children should get one dose of
the chickenpox vaccine between 12
and 18 months of age, or at any age
after that if they have never had
chickenpox. People who do not get
the vaccine until 13 years of age or
older should get doses 4-8 weeks
apart. Ask your doctor or nurse for
details. The chickenpox vaccine can
be given at the same time as other
vaccines.
Some people should not get the
Chickenpox Vaccine, or should wait.
People should not get the vaccine
if they have ever had a life-threatening
reaction to gelatin, the antibiotic
neomycin or (for those needing a sec
ond dose), a previous dose of the vac
cine. People who are moderately or
severely ill at the time the shot is
scheduled should wait until they re
cover before getting the vaccine.
Pregnant women should wait and get
the vaccine after they have had the
baby. Women should not get pregnant
for one month after getting the vac
cine. People who have recently had a
transfusion or were given other blood
products should check with their doc
tor about whether they should get the
vaccine, including anyone who: has
HIVAIDS or another disease that
affects the immune system, is being
treated with drugs that affect the im
mune system, such as steroids, for
two weeks or longer. Anyone who has
any kind of cancer should not get the
vaccine and anyone who is receiving
cancer treatment with x-rays or drugs.
What are the risks from the
Chickenpox Vaccine:
A vaccine, like any medicine is
capable of causing serious problems,
such as severe allergic reactions. The
risk of this vaccine causing serious
harm or death is extremely small.
Getting the vaccine is much safer than
getting the chickenpox disease and
most people who get the vaccine do
not have any problems with it For
more information on the side affects
on this vaccine, ask your doctor at the
clinic.
What should I do?
You can call HIS at 553-1196
and ask to speak to a doctor or a nurse
for more information on the vaccina
tion. They w ill be glad to help!
