Huron County Hard Hit By Polio Last Year epidemics duAng the warmer months is that infected sewage can be a danger to water supplies and bathing areas and offers a source of infection for flies. Since the virus is also found in dis- charges from the nose and throat, droplet infection — coughing, sneezing, etc. — is thought by some to be the more common method of spread. "In most people the infection causes only a mild illness and it seldom attains a serious stage. The illness might be scarcely noticed or passed of as a flu or summer complaint. It is thus possible for the virus to be spread widely in a very short time by persons suffering from or just recovered `from the mild form of the disease. These persons al% often referred to as `healthy carriers'. "Recent research has given more encouragement to the de- velopment of a vaccine, All com- munities can still work for better sanitation—a sound policy under any circumstances. Individuals can help by treating minor ill- nesses with extra caution during polio season and in particular avoiding fatigue and chilling which seem to be factors in the development of paralytic com- plication. "A beginning was made during the last year on a policy of more service to the child who has just entered or is about to begin school. It is in this group that great health dividends can be derived by early • discovery of physical defects. "It •might be well to stress at this time that the commonest de- fect found even at such an early age is tooth decay. Admittedly there is a.. shortage of dentists. Unfortunately a great many par- ents feel treatment of the prim- ary teeth is futile, and by delay- ing unwittingly pave the way for continued disease of teeth and Dr. R. M. Aldis, Medical Of- ficer of Huron, County Health Unit, presented a report to Huron County Council at the January session. It is as follows: "During 1951 Huron County shared in the increased incidence of poliomyelitis which was felt across the continent. The peak of the infection occurred during. September. The ages affectea varied from 20 months to 40 years, with the age group under 10 years hardest hit. Of 13 cases, all but one had paralytic sympt- oms in the acute stage of the disease. Four persons developed involvement of higher nerve centres in the brain and required treatment in the iron lung. Two of these died. Fairly complete recovery has been shown by most of the other cases. "Whooping cough accounted for one death which occurred in a five 'months old infant. There was a decrease, however, in the number of cases of this disease over that reported in 1950, One death from chickenpox was re- ported and this was in an adult. "Our attitude is changing to- wards the common communicable diseases. More lenient now than ten years ago, quarantine regula- tions are undergoing still further simplification. "Adequate control of infectious disease is possible only where immunization or effective sani- tary measures can be applied. Diphtheria, for example, is kept in check by, the continued use of toxoid; typhoid fever, however, is mainly limited by keeping safe our water, milk and food sup- plies. ' Knowledge Increasing "Knowledge of poliomyelitis is gradually increasing, Research workers have found that the vir- us is, passed in human sewage during epidemics. One possible explanation for the occurrence of gums, Other factors also enter such as careless use of sugars in between meals, inadequata intake of minerals and vitamins, and a deficient diet in the prental per- iod. Too often, however, it is a matter of waiting too long to call the dentist. In those areas where a school dental service is avail- able, the government grant can also apply to preschool children."
