REBELLION SPECIAL PURCHASE! miiiwmw Moore, PAGE H - PLA1NPEALER .WEDNESDAY, Advise Suntan Booth Care The Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois State Medical society today warned of the possible hazards of ultraviolet radiation from * suntan booths. The warning was issued following the report of an eye inury, to a Chicago resident, which resulted from the use of a suntan boolh. William L. Kempiners, acting director of the state health department, said that excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation can result in severe skin burns and eye damage. It can also cause skin cancer and premature aging of the skin, resulting in a dry, leathery appearance and loss of support by the skin's con­ nective tissue of the blood vessels. Kempiners cautioned that exposure to ultraviolet radiation can be especially hazardous to those who: sunburn easily; have blond hair, blue eyes and fair skin; and get frequent cold sores. Ultraviolet radiation can- also affect those who take certain drugs such as; diuretics, some birth control pills, fulfas and tetracycline, high blood pressure medication containing hydrochlorothiazide, tran­ quilizers containing phenothiazine derivatives, and sulfonylurea - con­ taining drugs used in treating mature-onset diabetes. "These drugs", Kem­ piners said, "as well as some cosmet ics , soaps , deodorants and other products may contain photo- sensitizers, which increase the user's sensitivity to ultraviolet light. If you have any doubts, check with your physician". The following precautions should be taken by persons who plan to use suntan booths: 1. Use protective eye­ wear, such as ultraviolet goggles. These should be supplied by the management. Just closing the eyes is not sufficient. 2. Do not exceed the recommended exposure time. The suntan booth should have a pre-set timer, and the management should instruct individuals as to the specific tanning program suitable for their skin. "• 3. Avoid direct contact with the ultraviolet lights. The tanning booths should have physical barriers which protect persons from getting too close, touching or falling into the lamps. Suntan booths should have prominently displayed warning Signs which read: "Danger - Ultraviolet Radiation. Follow in­ structions. As with natural sunlight, overexposure can cause eye injury and sun­ burn; repeated exposure may cause premature aging of the skin and skin cancer. Medications or cosmetics applied to the skin may increase your sensitivity to ultraviolet light. Consult a physician before using if taking any medication, or if you believe yourself sen­ sitive to sunlight." Any injuries that result from the use of a suntan booth should be reported to the Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Radiation Protection, 535 W. Jefferson, Spgngfield, 111. 82761.

I!kn.'«t»rn MM SftMMI 385-7353 vmm The number of reported ises of,animal rabies in minois since Jan. 1,4s nearly triple the number of gases reported at the same time last year, and nine times higher than at this time in an "average" year. A total of 176 cases of rabies in animals has been reported from 34 counties so far this year. In 1979, 59 cases had been reported as of May 51 William L. Kempiners, acting director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, noted that a total of 227 cpses occurred during 1979. He said that, during the five-year period 1974-1978, the highest yearly total was 124 in 1974. However, no cases of rabies in humans have occurred in Illinois since 1954, although each year 200-300 Illinoisans undergo rabies treatment because of exposure to the disease. This year's total includes 156 skunks. The remaining 20 animals include cows, raccoons, dogs, cats, bats, me sheep, one fox and two the horses, one of which thoroughbred horse. , Kempiners said that rabies cases are occjuf e> primarily in three areas of the state. "One cluster", he said, "is in the northwestern part of the state, where 49 cases have been reported in nine counties •• JoDaviess, Stephenson, Winnebago, Carroll, Ogle, Whiteside, Lee, Bureau and La Salle." He said that a second "cluster" is located in Henderson, Hancock, Mc- Donough, Adams and Pike counties in the west-central part of the state, where 58 cases have been reported. . The third "cluster" is located in the southwestern part of the state, where cases have been reported in Madison, St. Clair, Monroe, Bond, Clinton, Fayette, Randolph , -Per ry and ' Jackson counties. Additional cases of animal rabies have been reported in Knox, Woodford, Tazewell, McLean, Mason, DeWltt, Jasper , Richland , . Lawrence, Edwards and Wayne counties. Kempiners warned that residents in all parts of Illinois should ~ take the following precautions to help reduce the chances of human rabies: -Family dogs and cats should be immunized against rabies. -All persons - especially children - should be warned to stay away from stray dogs and cats, and all wild animals. -Stray dogs and cats and wild animals which appear ill should be reported to the local animal control office, especially if the animal seems to be behaving in an unusual manner. Any person bitten by an animal should thoroughly scrub the wound with liberal amounts of soap and water, and contact a physician or local health department immediately. If the trfHng animal' jg a domestic cat or dog, state law requires that the animal be confined for 10 days under the observation.^ a licensed veterinarian. If* at the end of this 10-day period the animal is healthy, the person bitten need not be treated for . rabies. If the biting animal is a wild animal, however, and either disappears after, the biting incident, or is cap­ tured and found to be rabid, then it is necessary for the bite victim to undergo rabies treatment. Certain animals, such as skunks, raccooqs, foxes, bats, dogs and cats are more likely to be rabid than are animals such as oppossums or rodents. Farm cats and dogs are at greater risk than are "city" pete, as they are more likely to have contact with wild animals. • Kempiners said that the behavior of an animal is an important factor in assessing the likelihood of rabies. Animals which bite without provocation, or exhibit abnormal behavior patterns, are more likely to be rabid. "For example," Kem- piners said, "a skunk which ventures forth during daylight hours should be considered as exhibiting an abnormal behavior pattern, as skunks are normally sighted only after dark." He added that animals which limp or display other dif­ ficulty with movement may be exhibiting neurologic symptoms or paralysis associated with rabies. br. David Bromwell, chief veterinarian for the Illinois Departmeni of Agriculture's Bureau of Animal* Welfare says dog owners should make sure that rabies vaccinations are current- and that cat owners should consider vaccinating cats that are permitted to roam outdoors. Illinois law requires rabies vaccination foe all dogs over the age of four months. Atyar the initial vaccination, dogs must be vaccinated an- nually-or with a special th ree-year vacc ine . ' Bromwdl says the three- year vaccine may be Economically advantageous while being as effective as the annual vaccine. State law does not require vaccination .of cats or agricultural livestock. Livestock normally does not pose a rabies spread threat. Forest Fire Flaming forest fires may re­ lease as much energy in two minutes as the-explosion of a 20-kiloton bomb.
