Only a few years ago doctors, as
well as eve ry one else, thought chills
and fever developed in a person be
cause of breathing bad air, the drink
ing of impure water, or the eating of
certain unripe fruits and raw vegeta
bles. Little or no importance was at
tached to the presence of the mosquito,
except that the bite of certain types
were very annoying and even painful.
Since the discovery of the fact that
Malaria (chills and fever) can be trans
mitted in no other way than the bite
of a certain specie of mosquito, the
prevention of this disease becomes
quite simple, but often somewhat ex
pensive.
Since moscuitoes can breed only in
water, the surface of which is rather
still, the best plan is to destroy by
drainage all such bodies of water. If
drainage is impossible a film of oil
(preferably a mixture of equal parts of
crude oil and kerosene) sprayed on the
surface of the water each week will
destroy the larvae, or wiggle-tails. The
stocking of permanent bodies of water
■w:tli*t o p set ding minnows (gambusia
affinis) is eifective, since this particu
lar fish possesses a highly developed
appetite for mosquito larvae. These
can be obtained in many parts of the
state. Some of the County Boards of
Health maintain regular hatcheries.
Upon application the State Board of
Health will notify you of the nearest
hatchery to you.
In order to keep the mosquito out
of the house the proper screening of
the house is very important. Every
opening' should be snugly covered with
wire gauze, with a mesh not larger
than one-sixteenth of an inch (No. 16
mesh). Much money has been wasted
on screening of Nos. 10, 12 and 14
mesh, through which the mosquito can
crawl with but little difficulty.
On largo plantations, lumber and
turpentine camps, many houses are
often found in such condition as to ne
cessitate rebuilding before screening
would be of any advantage. In such
communities the use of quinine as a
prophylactic is of much importance.
In case a person is bitton by an inlccl
ed mosquito 10 grains ci quinine taken
each day (preferably at bed time) is
suficient to protect, the adult. Chil
dren are given Smaller doses, the ac
tual amount depending upon , the age.
Administration of Salvarsan and
Noosalvarsan has become so simpli
fied it is now a routine office proce
dure for the physician. The patient
is not incapacitated for work.
Salvarsan mid Neosalvarsan are sup
plied at less than half the prices which
prevailed before the war. Speculation
and profiteering in these chemicals is
now a thing of the past.
