RELAPSING FEVER INSECT
OUT THIS TIME OF YEAR
AUSTIN, Tex., May 25—A
pesky, little insect, capable of
going for months without food,
is a sour note in the otherwise
sweet symphony of a Texas
Spring.
It's a soft-shelled tick, known
scientifically as, Omithodoros
turicata, transmitter of relaps-
ing fever. This time of year
they'll be out in force over
most of Texas—at the very
season when the natural human
inclination is toward picnics and
exploratory sojourns into the
Great Outdoors.
State Health Department en-
tomologists say the pernicious,
fever-laden parasites can bite,
feed, release their hold and
drop to the ground without their
human victims every knowing
that, they have provided them
with a bloody meal.
. Many cases of relapsing fever
undoubtedly occur in Texas
without ever coming to official
attention. Ticks pick up the
germ while feeding on infect-
ed wild rodents, become in-
fected themselves, and then pass
it on to humans during a feed-
ing process.
Soft-shelled ticks are close
relatives of the hard-shelled
ticks which spread spotted
fever, tularemia, a type of en-
cephalitis and other miseries.
Public health workers handle
ticks with great caution to avoid
being bitten and exposed to the
fever they might be carrying.
Specimens are kept in a special-
ly-constructed tictorium, where,
if one escapes, it will fall into
an oil bath and be killed.
State Health Department
laboratory technicians over the
years have added many refine-
ments to diagnostic techniques
relating to relapsing fever.

The strange disease occurs all
over the world, despite its be-
ing classified as a "tropical"
disease.
The onset of relapsing fever
is characterized by chills and
fever lasting for 24 to 3G hours.
Then, just as the victim begins
feeling better, he'll be stricken
again. Recurring attacks might
persist for weeks, each one
leaving the patient weak and
wrung out.
Once successfully diagnosed,
relapsing fever readily re-
sponds to modern treatment by
a private physician.
Sott-shelled ticks usually in-
habit caves and old buildings,
while their hard-shelled coun-
terparts stick to woods and
fields. Both types at e actual-
ly occupational hazards for
ranchers a nd foresters and
people in similar lines of work.
Soft-shelled ticks have been
known to survive for seven
months without food, so long
vacancy of a vacation cottage
is not insurance of freedom
from ticks.
So go ahead, have fun out-
doors this Spring. But use
plenty of insect repellent on ex-
posed skin and clothing.
