Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is caused by only one thing. Rocky Mountain Spotted fever is caused by a tick bite from a tick that carries the Rickettsia Rickettsii. This organism can be fatal to humans if it is not taken care of quickly. In most cases of RMSF the tick was attached for 6 to10 hours and the person may never find the tick on them. RMSF cannot be spread from person to person (2). RMSF can take 2 to 14 days for any of the symptom to show up. (5). There are many ways to prevent RMSF
Lyme disease is a disease cause by the bacteria known as Borrelia burgdorferi. Animals that live in grassy areas or wood like areas, such as forest, is the common place to find this bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. Borrelia burgdorferi is commonly found on small animals like mice up to animals as big as deer. How this bacterium is transmitted to humans is through a bite by a tick. The specific ticks that are exposed to this disease and transmit it to humans by a single bite are known as Ixodes ticks
while weeding out the weaker animals, preventing them from passing on potentially flawed traits. Nature is all about survival of the fittest, and disease helps determine which animals are, in fact, the fittest. Ticks carry Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and tularemia, all of which have a big influence on the health of animal populations within an ecosystem. Without these diseases and the ticks that spread them, an area could find itself overrun with deer, rabbits, mice and other animals
Paige Sclar Biology P.1 Nutritional Symbiosis The technical definition of nutritional symbiosis is “the relationship between two or more organisms in which they share their shelter and nutrients.” There are three different kinds of symbiotic relationships, parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism. Although in some cases, not everyone is benefited by these relationships (depending on the type of symbiosis that is occurring) symbiotic relationships are a way organisms have truly learned to survive
by a rash in the area of the bite, headache, neck stiffness, chills, fever, myalgia, arthralgia, malaise, fatigue, and possible development of arthritis in large joints” (McCance, Heuther, Brashers, Rote, 2010). Lyme disease’s clinical manifestations occur in three stages: Localized infection, disseminated infection, and late persistent infection. Localized infection occurs shortly after the bite with erythema migrans (rash), fever, fatigue, malaise, myalgias (muscle pain), and arthralgia’s (joint
despite the fact that there are numerous different sicknesses that bring about impulsive and not all Lyme disease patients show EM (Stricker RB, Johnson L.; (2011). Other early side effects may incorporate a general feeling of disquietude, exhaustion, fever, cerebral pain, firm neck, muscle and joint torment, and expanded lymph nodes. Lyme malady side effects could be connected with numerous different sicknesses, which additionally makes the examination findings more troublesome to diagnose. In the event
"Snake Nation") which was located in the Rocky Mountain region. If their territory was still around today, it would cover the states of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Sacagawaea's tribe made up the more northern/eastern part of the territory, lived in tepee's, and were superb buffalo hunters. These people, called Lemhi Shoshone, were great warriors and excellent on horses. It was around this time (1790's) that the Lemhi were forced to retreat to the Rocky Mountains due to their enemy tribes, Blackfeet
this new disease Lyme disease and began describing the signs and symptoms in order to help physicians diagnosing patients. Still, it was not until 1981 when a researcher from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) at the Rocky
What is Kawasaki disease and who is affected by it? Introduction I chose to do my research paper on Kawasaki disease in an effort to learn more about this disease. A close family friend’s daughter was diagnosed with Kawasaki back in September of this year. She called me crying and asked if I knew anything bout Kawasaki. At first I thought,“Why is she crying over the motorcycle?” I responded, “The motorcycle?” to which she replied, “No, the disease.” I told her I never heard of the disease but
burgdorferi is carried by ticks named the Ixodes dammini, which is the main vector for Lyme disease. These may also be known as I. scapularis, and may be found on deer (Schilling-McCann, 2010). ¬¬¬In addition to Lyme Disease, ticks may also carry Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or Tularemia (Smeltzer et al, 2010). Ticks can be found in many places outdoors during the summer months. As a preventative measure, we should always be aware of ticks, but during the warmer months extra precautions should be taken.

Pests live where they are not wanted and cause harm to humans, plants, and animals. To eliminate these pests, chemicals called pesticides are often used. Pesticides are not a modern invention. The first recorded use of pesticides is 4500 years ago by Sumerians who used elemental sulfur to rid their plants of insects. Persians around 2000 years ago are known to have used dried daises as an insecticide to protect their grain. Up until the 1940s natural sources were only used for pest control. In 1939
As a parent or an educator we aim to do all that we are capable to provide a healthy, happy future for all of our children while protecting them from anything that may bring harm to them. Unfortunately, some things are out of our control, for example Communicable and Acute illnesses, which include Airborne Transmitted illnesses, Blood Borne Transmitted illnesses, Contact (Direct and Indirect) Transmitted illnesses, Fecal/Oral Transmitted illnesses, and Common Acute Childhood illnesses. While illnesses
Pesticides: Feeding the World Every day, new worries arise concerning over-population and the future of earth. People are afraid of starvation and endemic diseases. The problem with present food production is not of land shortage, but of yields too low to feed a doubled world population. Plant geneticists are creating hybrid plants that have higher yields and more resistance to unwanted and harmful organisms. Even with the new plants, pesticides must be applied to reap the hybrid's full potential
