- Ticks are arachnids that are external parasites requiring a host for food and shelter - They are most active during warm months from April to September - To prevent tick bites, avoid direct contact with ticks and wear permethrin-treated clothes - If a tick is found, carefully remove it using tweezers as close to the skin as possible without squeezing or crushing the body - Seek medical attention if a rash or fever develops after tick removal or if the tick was attached for over 24 hours

? Tetanus is a serious bacterial disease that affects the nervous system ? It is commonly known as ¡°lock jaw¡± ? It is caused by Clostridium Tetani, produce ¡°Tetanospasmin¡± ? It can interfere with your ability to breathe ? Tetanus can be treated ? Fatality is highest in individuals who haven't been immunized and in older adults with inadequate immunization
SYMPTOMS ? Spasms and stiffness of jaw muscles ? Stiffness of neck muscles ? Difficulty swallowing ? Stiffness of abdominal muscles ? Clenched fists ? Painful body spasms
RISK FACTORS ? Lack of immunization or inadequate immunization ? A penetrating injury that results in tetanus spores being introduced to the wound site ? A foreign body, such as a nail or splinter ? Puncture wounds ? Amputations ? Burns
COMPLICATIONS ? Disability ? Death
TREATMENTS ? Wound care ? Antitoxin- can neutralize only toxin that hasn't yet bonded to nerve tissue ? Antibiotics- to fight tetanus bacteria. ? Vaccine- prevent future tetanus infection, quickly make the needed antibodies to protect you against tetanus. ? Sedatives- control muscle spasms.
LIFESTYLE AND HOME REMEDIES ? Get medical attention if - the wound is deep and dirty - If you're unsure of your immunization status. ? Leave unclean wounds open If you have a minor wound, these steps will help prevent you from getting tetanus: ? Control bleeding ? Keep the wound clean ? Use an antibiotic- can discourage bacterial growth and infection and may allow the wound to heal more efficiently. ? Cover the wound- keep the wound clean and keep harmful bacteria out. Blisters that are draining are vulnerable. ? Change the dressing- to prevent infection
PREVENTION ? The DTaP vaccine consists of a series of five shots, typically given in the arm or thigh to children at ages: 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15 to 18 months, 4 to 6 years The booster ? Tdap- between the ages of 11 and 12 ? Td booster be given every 10 years thereafter. ? If you receive a deep or dirty wound and it's been more than five years since your last booster shot, get another booster shot.
TETANUS IMMUNIZATION Protection against tetanus should be considered with any wound, even a minor one. After any wound, check the student's immunization record for tetanus and notify parent or legal guardian. A minor wound would need a tetanus booster only if it has been at least 10 years since the last tetanus shot or if the student is 5 years old or younger. Other wounds such as those contaminated by dirt, feces and saliva (or other body fluids); puncture wounds; amputations; and wounds resulting from crushing, burns, and frostbite need a tetanus booster if it has been more than 5 years since last tetanus shot.

PREVENTING TICK BITES ? Avoid Direct Contact with Ticks ? Repel Ticks and wear clothes treated with Permethrin
FIND AND REMOVE TICKS FROM YOUR BODY ? Bathe or shower as soon as possible after coming indoors ? Conduct a full-body tick check using a hand-held or full-length mirror. Parents should check their children for ticks under the arms, in and around the ears, inside the belly button, behind the knees, between the legs, around the waist, and especially in their hair. ? Examine gear and pets ? Tumble clothes in a dryer on high heat
TICKS Students should be inspected for ticks after time in woods Refer to your school's policy or brush. Ticks may carry regarding the removal of ticks serious infections and must be completely removed. . Do NOT handle ticks with Wear disposable gloves when exposed bare hands . to blood and other body fluids. Wash the tick area gently with soap and water before attempting removal Using tweezers, grasp the tick as close to the skin surface as possible and pull upward with steady, even pressure. Do NOT twist or jerk the tick as the mouth parts may break off. It is important to remove the ENTIRE tick. Take care not to squeeze, crush or puncture the body of the tick as its fluids may carry infection. After removal, wash the tick area thoroughly with soap and water. Wash your hands. Apply a bandage. Ticks can be safely thrown away by placing them in container of alcohol or flushing them down the toilet. Contact responsible school authority & parent/legal guardian.
REMOVING TICKS Follow-up If you develop a rash or fever within several weeks of removing a tick, see your doctor. Be sure to tell the doctor about your recent tick bite. Early recognition and treatment of the infection decreases the risk of serious complications.
UNCONSCIOUSNESS a mental state that involves complete or near-complete lack of responsiveness to people and other environmental stimuli.
