Opioids are a type of medication prescribed for pain relief. They also affect parts of the brain that control how we feel pleasure. Some people may want to take them even when not in pain. This can lead to addiction.

As the summer break winds down, families begin preparing for the new school year by shopping for supplies, picking out clothes and setting schedules. But there is another important task to add to the list — making sure children are up to date on their vaccinations. Carson City Health and Human Services is helping families get ready for the school year and will offer walk-in back-to-school vaccination days at the following times: Aug. 7-8, Aug. 11-15 and Aug. 18-19, from 8:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, at 900 E. Long St., in Carson City. Nevada requires all school-aged children to be vaccinated before attending school. These vaccines help protect children from serious diseases and help keep their classmates, families and communities safe.

🧹🐭 Hantavirus: A Hidden Danger You Can Help Prevent!

As Carson City heads into warmer months, it’s important to stay alert to the risks of hantavirus—a rare but serious illness carried by infected rodents. You can help protect yourself and your family by cleaning up safely and staying vigilant in homes, garages, sheds, and other spaces where rodents might nest.
✔️ Seal up holes and gaps around your home
✔️ Store food in rodent-proof containers
✔️ Avoid stirring up dust when cleaning areas with rodent droppings—spray with disinfectant first
✔️ Wear gloves and a mask when cleaning affected spaces

Together, we can keep Carson City safe and healthy.

Prevention starts at home! To learn more about Hantavirus, visit: https://www.cdc.gov/hantavirus/about/index.html

Tick Collection:
1. Removing the Tick:
- Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible
- Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Do not twist or jerk.
- Clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.

2. Storing the Tick:
- Place the tick into a small vial or screw-top container filled with 70-95% isopropyl alcohol (this preserves the tick for identification).
- If alcohol is not available, place the tick in a sealed plastic bag or a double-bagged container.
- Do not tape, glue, or heat the tick as it compromises identification.

3. Label the Sample for Testing
- Submitter’s full name
- Date of collection
- Location (City, county, GPS if available)
- Host (if you found the tick on a human, dog, etc.)
- If the tick was attached or crawling
- Duration of attachment (if known)
- Any symptoms observed

4. Submitting the Sample:
- CCHHS Environmental Health will be accepting ticks that are properly stored and labeled.
