IRONSIDE NEWS
By MRS. E. J. BEAM
The adult ticks are found usual
ly from March until July. During
the hot weather they decend into
the ground. The adult tick feeds
on 'arge animals including man.
The adult female, about one-eighth
c f rn Inch long, after engorging to
many times its normal size, drops
frem the host and crawls into shel
tered place. Before
leaving the
host, the female is impregnated by
the male, which feeds only a short
time before seeking its mate. The
female remains
quiescent for a
week or more and begins depositing
egg", fer a month cr longer, and
from 2000 to 7000 in number. These
hatch seed ticks, a larvae which are
net more than one thirty-second
c f an Inch in diameter.
These six legged larvae feed on
small rodents. After feeding from
two tc four days and attaining the
size of a millet seed they drop to
the grcind. They do not become
active until the next spring. Like
the larvae, they feed on rodents
and engorge from three to ten
days, finally reaching a size slight
ly smaller than buck shot. The en
gorged nymphs then molt to adult
ticks, male and female, which pass
through the winter in a dormant
condition.
Man's infection is purely
inci
dental and e cu ' through the bite
of the tick, n r h cr female. No
specifc serum l as been developed
for the cure or treatment of the in
fection, but a vaccine has been
developed which
has a definite
vrlue in producing immunity or
reducing the violence of the infec
tion. An attempt is now being made
to control this disease by destroy
ing the tick by a parasite.
The prevention of Rocky Moun
tain spotted fever depends on per
sonal prophlyaxis and vaccination.
For those whose occupation compel
them to enter infected areas it is
recommended that they
examine
their clothing and bodies for ticks
at frequent intervals, at least twice
a day. Fortunately the tick does not
attach itself at once, but
crawls
around for several hours. As a rule
ticks do not infset their hosts for
several hours after
attachment.
Live ticks are easily removed if care
is exercised, but strong chemicals
