Huron sees more
cases of chicken pox
BY HEATHER BOA
\;\.1/4. Suri
Schools and physician, across
:-iurc n County are reporting
hi::her than u,ual incidence of
hick,n pox.
"There: a fair amount of
.hicken 4 ox activity going on
riy�ht now. but I think it's quite
.:ontained,- said Director of
Public Health Nursing, Diane
Petrie.
Chicken pox symptoms begin
with a fever and general
malaise. Then red marks appear
and develop into itchy pocks,
lasting about one week. It is
contagious from the early
symptoms until the pocks dry
up.
"That's part of the problem.
Children just go off to school
and don't know they have
chicken pox." Petroe said
"Some people get very mild
cases, and other kids just are
really miserable and have them
everywhere."
In February 24 cases were
reported to the health unit,
while in some months there are
no cases reported. In the final
three months of last year, 86
uses were reported - 53 in
December. The cases often
cluster in areas of the county,
Petrie said. Right now, there
are cases reported in Goderich.
Schools and physicians are
required under the Health
Protection and Promotion Act
to report cases of chicken pox
to the medical officer of health.
"We keep our eye on the
various organisms that are
around," Petrie said. The
chicken pox organism can, in
some cases, cause other
manifestations, such as
shingles, an inion "of
the nerves. And the
Pre
health office is considerini
implementing a 'costly'
vaccine. -
"Therefore, we need to know,
is the cost worth it," she said.
"What we really look for in
chicken pox is how many side
effects it's .causing, or how
many complications it's
causing. We aren't getting
that."
Petrie suggests suc
treatments as baking powder or
calamine to relieve the itc

Quote of the week
by Barack Obama
We, the People, recognize that we
have responsibilities as well as rights;
that our destinies are bound together;
that a freedom which only asks what's
in it for me, a freedom without a com-
mitment to others, a freedom without
love or charity or duty or patriotism, is
unworthy of our founding ideals, and
those who died in their defense.
