Word of Caution
To Rabbit Hunters'
_
i
A word of caution was given
this week by Dr. Robert L. Smith,
assistant commissioner of health,
who pointed out that two cases of
tularemia have occurred in the
Fairbanks area during the current
year and one case was reported
from there last year.
Tularemia, which received its
name from flhe California county
where it was first discovered, has
been known to exist in Alaska J
since 1936, with wild rabbits be
ing the usual source of infection.
. I
The wild rabbit gets the infec
tion from being bitten by an in
fected insect, usually directly
from the body of a tularemia-sick
animal. The germs multiply rapid-1
ly in the body and cause white,
yellowish spots to form in the j
spleen and liver of the animal. *
The in the groin and under the
forelegs become enlarged and the!
fur becomes rough.
However, the most conspicuous.
change is that the tularemia-sick
rabbit instead of running away
from danger with speed, appears
suggish and slow-moving.
Authorities said that early
symptoms of tularemia in the hu
man are misleading as they re
semble other forms of illness.* Sus
picious symptoms include head
ache chills, aches and pains all
over the body and spells of vomit
ing. As the disease progresses,
these symptoms become intensi
fied and the ite where the germ
enterd th body (usually broken
skin on the hand) develops into
an ulcer and the lymph glands
under the arms and elbows be
come painful.
Like a number of other painful
and troublesome diseases, tular
emia is seldom fatal, Dr. Smith
said, but it may keep the victim
away from his work for a long
time with resulting financial loss
for him and his employer.
Health officials advised that
the following precautions be ob
served by rabbit hunters:
1.—Don’t shoot the instant you
see a wild rabbit, but watch its
movements. If it is sluggish and
snow-moving, either let it go or
BALTIMORE ((A5)—An assistant
hotel manager, worried about on
employee he had sent crawling
across a narrow second-story
ledge, leaned out the window to
warn him to be careful. He leaned
too far and fell to his death.
James Ncrwak, 56-year-old as
sistant manager of the Fairmount
Hoted died of head injuries.
He had instructed the employee
to edge across the ledge and enter
another room through a window
so he could open a jammed door
from the inside.
shoot it (for the protection of
others) and bury it with care to
avoid infection.
2. —Make it a rule to wear rub
ber gloves when handling rabbits
and other wild animals.
3. —Even when you have worn
rubber gloves, be sure to wash
your hands carefully after hand
ling rabbits, dead or alive.
4. —Keep your hands away from
your face while handling wild
rabbits.
5. —See that the rabbit meat you
eat and serve your family is cook
ed thoroughly. Heat destroys tu
laremia germs as well as other
bacteria.
