Severe high blood pressure combined with symptoms such as chest pain or trouble speaking may be a hypertensive emergency, according to the new high blood pressure guideline, and you should call 911 immediately.

Education is the single most important tool for the prevention of heat stroke. The media, public education, public health programs, and athlete safety programs can play a pivotal role in increasing the public's awareness of the dangers of heat during heat waves and advising the public on methods of remaining cool.

Similarly, drinking fluids on schedule (and not based only on thirst), frequent cooling breaks, and frequent visits to air-conditioned places are very important because even short stays in an air-conditioned environment may drastically reduce the incidence of heat stroke.

Recognition of host risk factors and modification of behavior (eg, limiting alcohol and drug intake and the use of medications and drugs that interfere with heat dissipation) and physical activity also will prevent heat stroke. (MEDSCAPE)

: http://bit.ly/1oWqKNY

Bacterial infection transmitted by many animals, such as rodents & other vermin. Waste products (e.g., urine and f***s) of an infected animal, especially rats, contaminate the soil, water, & vegetation.

CAUSE
Leptospira spirochetes bacteria

HOW DO YOU GET IT?
Ingesting contaminated food or water or when broken skin or open wounds and mucous membrane (eyes, nose, sinuses, mouth) come in contact with contaminated water (usually flood water) or soil (Incubation period of bacteria is 7-10 days.)

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS
• Fever
• Non-specific symptoms of muscle pain, headache
• Calf-muscle pain and reddish eyes in some cases
• Severe cases resulting in liver involvement, kidney failure, or brain involvement (Thus some cases may have yellowish body discoloration, dark-colored urine and light stools, low urine output, severe headache.)

TREATMENT
• Take antibiotics duly prescribed by a physician.
• Early recognition and treatment within 2 days of illness prevents complications of leptospirosis, so early consultation is advised.

PREVENTION & CONTROL
• Avoid swimming or wading in potentially contaminated water or flood water.
• Use proper protection, like boots and gloves, when work requires exposure to contaminated water.
• Drain potentially contaminated water when possible.
• Control rodents in the household by using rat traps or rat poison and maintaining cleanliness in the house.
