    1 February 2021

    February 2021 Harriet Tubman was born around 1820 on a plantation in Dorchester County, Maryland. She had eight brothers and sisters; due to the realities of slavery they were eventually forced apart. At the age of 12 her desire for justice became apparent. She stepped between an enslaved person and the overseer who threw a weight that struck Harriet in the head. This good deed left her with headaches and narcolepsy for the rest of her life. In 1840 her father was set free by his previous owner. The new owner refused to recognize this and kept Harriet, her mother, and the rest of her siblings in bondage. In 1844, Harriet married John Tubman who was a free black man and changed her last name. This marriage was not good and with the knowledge of two of her brothers about to be sold provoked Harriet to plan an escape. September 17, 1849, Harriet and her two brothers escaped from the Maryland plantation. Although her brothers changed their minds and went back. With the help of the Underground Railroad Harriet persevered and traveled 90 miles north to Pennsylvania and freedom. Harriet was not satisfied living free on her own and she wanted freedom for her loved ones and friends, too. She returned to the south to lead her niece and her niece’s children to Philadelphia via the Underground Railroad. The 1850 Fugitive Slave Act allowed fugitive and freed workers in the north to be captured and enslaved, which in turn made Harriet’s job with the Underground Railroad much harder.
  • Bed Bug Fact Sheet

    Bed Bug Fact Sheet

    New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services Consumer and Environmental Health Services Public Health, Sanitation and Safety Program Bed Bug Fact Sheet What are bed bugs? Bed bugs are small insects that feed on the blood of mammals and birds. Adult bed bugs are oval, wingless and rusty red colored, and have flat bodies, antennae and small eyes. They are visible to the naked eye, but often hide in cracks and crevices. When bed bugs feed, their bodies swell and become a brighter red. In homes, bed bugs feed primarily on the blood of humans, usually at night when people are sleeping. What does a bed bug bite feel and look like? Typically, the bite is painless and rarely awakens a sleeping person. However, it can produce large, itchy welts on the skin. Welts from bed bug bites do not have a red spot in the center – those welts are more characteristic of flea bites. Are bed bugs dangerous? Although bed bugs may be a nuisance to people, they are not known to spread disease. They are known to cause allergic reactions from their saliva in sensitive people. How long do bed bugs live? The typical life span of a bed bug is about 10 months. They can survive for weeks to months without feeding. How does a home become infested with bed bugs? In most cases, bed bugs are transported from infested areas to non-infested areas when they cling onto someone’s clothing, or crawl into luggage, furniture or bedding that is then brought into homes. How do I know if my home is infested with bed bugs? If you have bed bugs, you may also notice itchy welts on you or your family member’s skin.

A report of a suspected ADR to the Yellow Card scheme does not necessarily mean that it was caused by the vaccine, only that the reporter has a suspicion it may have. Underlying or previously undiagnosed illness unrelated to vaccination can also be factors in such reports. The relative number and nature of reports should therefore not be used to compare the safety of the different vaccines.

OVERVIEW In recent years, there has been a nationwide resurgence of bed bug infestations, and Alaska has not been immune to this trend. Rural Alaska is especially disadvantaged because of the high cost of getting a pest management professional to a rural community. Without professional help, people tend to rely on pesticides to battle bed bugs on their own.

    WSHFC | Bed Bugs and Beyond

    Bed Bugs and Beyond By: Mardi Roberts The first time I heard the words “Bed Bugs” was in a term of endearment that my grandmother would use when tucking me in bed: “Sleep tight and don’t let the Bed Bugs bite.” Little did I know that Bed Bugs were real! Because of inspections we have to do, I have had to learn way more about Bed Bugs than I ever wanted to. I recently had the opportunity to attend a class on Bed Bugs put on by a national pest-control company. Here are some quick facts about Bed Bugs that I learned: The earliest book about getting rid of Bed Bugs was published in England in 1730. Increased travel, loss of pesticides, recycled furniture, and changes in the way pest control is performed have all contributed to the increase (dare I say explosion) of Bed Bugs. Bed bugs have been found in many mattress delivery trucks. Think about this—they take old mattresses (that could have Bed Bugs) away as one of their services. During the World War II era, one in three households had Bed Bugs. Today, one out of five people either has Bed Bugs or knows someone who has Bed Bugs. The stigma that Bed Bugs like dirty surroundings is not true. Bed Bugs are sanitation independent. They can be located in a spotless, million-dollar home or in a hoarder’s filthy living quarters. Bed Bugs have a 4 to 16 week life cycle and lay one to five eggs a day that hatch in six to 10 days.
