Its purpose is to discuss the very acute problem of hydatid disease. As some of you may not be aware, one of our sweet old girls has just been operated upon to have three cysts in her lung removed. The present and eventual result is far from promising. For those who may not yet have heard of this very serious chronic disease, it is important to know that three essential ingredients are necessary: parasites, sheep and dogs. The host animal of the parasite is the sheep. It may have the disease in its body for its entire lifetime with no external signs. It exists in the sheep in the form of cysts containing parasites usually found in the liver or the lungs. There is no human exposure as long as the sheep is alive. The problem comes when the infected sheep dies or is killed and the remains (including and most important the internal organs) are eaten by dogs. After this infected meat has passed through the dog, the live active parasites or eggs remain in the dog manure. Here now is where the human danger begins. If these parasites or eggs and remember they are microscopic in size are eaten or inhaled by a human, there is an excellent chance that the person will then become infected. This being so it will show up as cysts in several of the vital organs, any of which can be fatal. Now visualize how easily this can occur to you, your children An or your grandchildren. infected dog not necessarily your own uses your lawn for its bathroom. The manure is accidentally stepped in and tracked into your home and on vour carpets. It dries and for the most part is cleaned up but millions of these microscopic parasites and eggs remain for little baby hands to contact on the carpet and transfer as children do, to their mouths. The human phase of this cycle may then start. Another excellent chance for exposure is the lawn itself. The manure dries and children playing on the lawn transfer the disease to their mouths just as they did from the carpet. Or, you run through it with a lawn mower and stir it up as a dust into your breathing zone. There is ample evidence to support the idea that as you breath this dust you can become infected. I am persuaded that no rational person can argue that wc do not have a problem. All of the necessary elements exist, viz. sheep, dogs and people. Moreover we have several surgically demonstrated cases of the disease and several people who show positive signs to the testing procedure. We have used acres of newsprint, and gallons of ink to portray our mud slide in every particular. It is most unlikely that the slide if it acted in the very worst possible way as predicted by some prophets of doom would take a single life or cause a single case of chronic illness. Yet we show enormous concern for the slide and our attitude toward this fatal disease remains completely complacent. Now. what must be done? The cycle must be broken and that can only be done if no sheep or sheep entrails are eaten by dogs. Dog owners must restrain their dogs entirely and continually and sheep owners must be sure that all ' dead sheep andor sheep this emergency, to enact one.) It has not been adequately enforced. I suggest that those dog owners who put the happiness of their free roaming dogs above the lives of our children (and the adults as well) should be deprived of their dogs. If the owners will not cooperate with the spirit of the ordinance, then the dogs should be destroyed. A note here to those societies and individuals who confuse their values and put dogs and dog ownership above the lives and welfare of our people: We are in a crisis and anyone who stands in the way of a competent solution will in some measure need to assume some blame. The City seems reluctant to completely enforce the ordinance for fear of legal action by someone whose dog was killed or by one of these misguided organizations which impose completely unrealistic requirements on the disposition of dogs. I suggest that no city is likely to be successfully sued for enforcing an ordinance having to do with the imminent 49c PRODUCE GRAPEFRUIT WHOLE HAM Boneless lb. $1.39 ORANGES, 5 lb. bag FRANKS, 12 oz pkg. 65c AVOCADOS LETTUCE. . 2 for 25c 65c .each 25c head 25c are adequately buried New Correspondent Mrs. Opal Lyon has been appointed Manti Center Ward correspondent for the Messenis ger.

Dog owners are aware that Manti and Ephraim have leash laws which prohibits dogs from running loose. (Sterling might be well advised, in the face of and using others lawn for its bathroom. I would hope, however, that those dog owners who are also parents would see the gravity of this present crisis and cooperate with the spirit as well as the letter of the ordinance. Nora and I have fifteen grandchildren. All of them will visit with us this summer (as will many of yours) and it chills me to think of the possibility of one or more of them contracting this dread disease simply by playing on our lawn. If anyone infers from the foregoing that Manti is singular and the only place where this disease exists, they are wrong. This disease is endemic to any area where the three necessary elements exist viz. dogs, sheep and this particular parasite. It is safety and welfare of its citizens. Rather, I would think that the parents of a child who contracts this dread disease would have an infinitely better chance of success in a suit against the city for its failure to do its duty toward the citizens. Now the sheep owners have a responsibility as well. 1 have in mind here not only those who are in the sheep business but those who undertake to raise a bummer lamb or two. The remains of dead sheep must be disposed of in such a way that they are unavailable to dogs. I would recommend to the cities and the county that suitable ordinances with persuasive penalties be enacted with reference to disposition of sheep and sheep parts. It would neither seem inappropriate nor unreasonable for the county to provide a suitable pit with a lid for people to use to dispose of sheep and sheep parts. 1 realize that the foregoing will not appeal to the dog owner who sees no violation of personal freedoms in his dog Red Rifs entrails from slaughtered sheep CATSUP, DelMonte, 20 oz Page 4 Manti Messenger, Thursday, April 15, 1976 79c Sit, April IS, 16, 17 Member of ASSOCIATED FOOD STORES " |
