Both young children, girls, • were stricken in their lower limbs with paralysis, and the , doctors state that they are . waiting for the victims to get over the first of the attack bf - [ fore they are ’ sent to Warln Springs Foundation for treat ment. One is located on a Sum i j merville route, while the other II is a child in Alabama. : -o- For those interested in pre venting a polio epidemic, here 1 are some suggestions: Fatigue makes people more ( susceptible to the paralyzed 1 form of polio, so avoid exercising too hard, or getting overtired: sudden chill weakens a person’s resistance to the disease, and we take chances when we stay too long in cold water or plunge into icy water after being in the hot r sun; swimming in dirty or pol > luted water, or allowing chil l dren to wade in it, is also dan gerous. During a polio outbreak, keep children out of crowds, away from polio patients and from all other sick children, no matter . how slight their illnesses might f seem, since symptoms in an un~ r paralyzed case or early symptoms . in a paralyzed case may be con t' sidered a “cold” or “flu.” Doctors .! advise postponing tonsil and ade .! noid operations during an epi i demic since children are more i; vulnerable to a serious type of [ polio infection at the time of and j for a while after suen surgerv. General habits of cleanliness are important too. Protect all 1 foods from flies. Garbage in the home and in the street should be ; kept covered and disposed of > promptly. Remember to wash . your hands before eating to avoid > carrying germs into the mouth. While we have no specific pre i ventive for polio, w r e have learn t; eel much about treating it. ; Prompt medical care often wards ! off possible crippling effects, so j i the important thing for a victim j! of polio is to get him under the ; care of a good doctor at once. Early symptoms of polio include : headache, listlessness, fever, up ; sec stomach or a cold. When a ( I child shows any of these signs, call the doctor at once so that he i can make the wisest decisions for the sick child’s care and treat ment as early as possible.
