TIDBITS® DOESN’T LIKE SPIDERS AND SNAKES
by Kathy Wolfe Back in 1974, singer Jim Stafford told us in his Billboard hit that he didn’t like spiders and snakes, a record that sold over two million copies. Tidbits is sure that this sentiment is shared by thousands of others, so we’re bringing some creepy facts about these creatures. • Spiders are the largest order of arachnids and are found on every continent except Antarctica. The arachnid family also includes scorpions, mites, ticks, and harvestmen. There are believed to be close to 44,000 species of spiders. Some geographic locations have an estimated spider count of as many as 265,000 per acre. • Spiders are arthropods, meaning they are invertebrates (they have no backbone), have an external skeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages. Their bodies have two parts, the cephalothorax, which contains the eyes, fangs, and legs, and the abdomen, where the spider’s silk-spinning organs, the spinnerets, are located. • Every spider produces silk, but not all spiders spin webs. There are many other purposes of silk – capturing prey, protecting offspring, for shelter, and in reproduction. Wolf spiders, which do not spin webs, seize their prey without a web as do jumping spiders, who just spring on their prey. turn the page for more!

SPIDERS AND SNAKES (continued): • The jumping spider can jump up to 50 times its own length, due to the high blood pressure in its back legs. • Certain spiders’ silk is so strong that fishermen in the South Pacific make their nets from it. Silk from the orb weaver spider is nearly the tensile strength of steel. • Spiders have the reputation of being deadly, but in actuality, only about 25 species are dangerous to humans. Most spiders, even the dreaded brown recluse and black widow, bite humans only in self-defense or when they feel threatened. The purpose of a spider’s venom is to kill or subdue its prey. As it bites, muscles around the venom glands contract and push venom through the spider’s fangs and into its prey. • The venom of the funnel web spider has caused at least 13 human deaths. Found in Australia, they are near the top of the heap for the most deadly spider in the world. Guinness has named the Brazilian wandering spider as the most venomous sider. Although native mostly to South America, they have branched out internationally by hiding in shipments of bananas, earning the nickname “banana spider.” • During the 20th century there were about 100 reported deaths from a spider bite. Compare this to death by the sting of a jellyfish at about 1,500. • There is one spider family, the Uloboridae, or hackled orb weaver, that does not have venom glands. These arachnids kill their prey by crushing it with over 450 feet (140 m) of thread. • The smallest species of spiders is Colombia’s Patu digna, with a body length of less than 0.015 inch (0.37 mm). The largest spiders are varieties of tarantulas, with a body length of about 3.5 in. (90 mm) and leg span up to 9.8 inches (250 mm).
TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D. Achalasia Is Painful Throat Condition DEAR DR. ROACH: My adult son recently has been diagnosed with achalasia, after many months of being misdiagnosed. He has suffered unbelievable pain and difficulty eating or drinking. At first he thought he was having a heart attack. Fortunately, that was ruled out. He is going to a prominent gastroenterologist, who made the diagnosis and has been treating him. He had the balloon procedure, which was not successful. He then had a Botox procedure. This relieved him somewhat. However, he has still had some painful episodes. What can you tell us about this illness? Will he eventually be cured? -- S.G. ANSWER: Achalasia (awk-uh-LAY-shuh) is a swallowing problem caused by degeneration in the nerve cells in the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food to the stomach. Nobody knows why it happens, but it might be autoimmune or related to a viral infection. Because the nerve cells no longer work properly, the esophagus cannot empty, and food stays in the bottom of the esophagus, causing a “stuck” feeling, which indeed can resemble the symptoms of heart disease. Both solids and liquids are affected. Achalasia may be diagnosed with several different types of tests, including X-rays, barium swallow, endoscopy and esophageal manometry (measuring pressures inside the esophagus). It’s important to get the right diagnosis, since other conditions, especially cancer of the esophagus, may look like achalasia. The usual first treatment is to widen the opening at the bottom of the esophagus, the lower esophageal sphincter. Sometimes it takes several attempts to work, but it does work for about 60 percent of people. Botulinum toxin (Botox), which prevents muscle contraction, is effective up to 90 percent of the time, but it needs to be repeated since the effect of the toxin is temporary. Surgery is the most definitive treatment, and it provides long-term relief for about 85 percent of people 10 years after treatment. There isn’t a cure, but most people get relief from one of these treatments. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 86 years old. I had pneumonia in May 2013 and was very sick for seven days in the hospital. Since I got home, I have had no sense of smell or taste. Can you tell me what caused it, and whether I will ever get it back? -- L.M. ANSWER: Since it happened in the hospital, it’s likely that something happened there to cause it. Sudden loss of smell and taste most likely are associated with infection, injury and medications. The organisms that cause pneumonia could possibly affect your sense of smell as well (disorders of both smell and taste usually are primarily related to loss of ability to smell). Injury can happen in the hospital, especially if you had to have a breathing tube placed through your nose. That leaves drugs as the other category, and MANY medications can cause loss of sense of smell. Since this has been going on for more than a year and a half, the only common reversible cause is medication. It would be worthwhile to ask your doctor to review all of your medicines, especially any that might have been started around the time of the pneumonia. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

SPIDERS AND SNAKES (continued): • There are about 700 species of tarantulas, who hunt at night and pounce on their prey of insects and grasshoppers. The largest, the Goliath Bird-Eating tarantula goes after lizards, snakes, frogs, bats, and small birds. • Each of a spider’s eight legs has seven distinct parts. When it’s moving along the ground, four legs are always on the surface and four are above. • There are more than 3,000 species of snakes worldwide, but the good news is that only about 375 are venomous. Of those, about 250 can kill their prey with one bite. When they strike, they have nearly a 100% success rate. However, most species of snakes are actually helpful since they keep the rodent population under control. • It’s a popular misconception that snakes kill their prey by biting it and injecting venom. Cobras and vipers are the only ones who use their poisonous venom to hunt. The remainder swallow their dinner whole, and are capable of ingesting animals up to 100% their own size by unhinging their jaws. After the prey is inside, the snake releases enzymes that break the food down into energy. Because of their very slow rate of metabolism, snakes don’t need to eat as frequently as other animals, with some species able to survive for months without food. • The rarest snake is the St. Lucia Racer, an endangered snake that lives only on the tiny uninhabited Caribbean island of Maria Major. Once declared extinct, 11 of the small non-venomous reptiles were discovered in 2012. Anywhere from 18 to 100 are believed to be in existence today. • In a process known as molting, snakes shed their entire skin three times a year. • The most common snake bites in North America are from rattlesnakes, with every one of their 30 species venomous. Rattlers have heat-sensing pits on the sides of their head between the nostril and eye. These enable them to detect warm-blooded prey, (their favorites are rodents and lizards), and they can detect differences in temperature to a fraction of a degree. When the rattlesnake shakes its rattles, it’s trying to warn or scare away predators. Every time the snake sheds its skin, another ring is added to its rattles. Beware, because even though young rattlesnakes don’t yet have rattles, they are just as dangerous as the adults. • Adult rattlers only eat about once every two weeks. It’s not unusual for a rattlesnake to live 30 years. • The Eastern Diamondback is the largest rattlesnake, growing to a length of 8 feet (2.4 m). Found in the southeast United States from North Carolina to Louisiana, they can be recognized by their prominent yellow-bordered black diamond pattern. • The highly aggressive Black Mamba snake is native to southern and eastern Africa. One of the world’s deadliest snakes, it takes only two drops of its venom to kill a human, who can die in just 20 minutes. Nearly 20,000 Africans die each year from the bite of the Black Mamba. The venom shuts down the nervous system and paralyzes its victims. This 14-ft-long (4.25 m) snake is also the fastest snake in the world, able to slither along at speeds up to 12 mph (19 km/hr), all the while with one-third of its body 4 feet (1.2 m) off the ground. Although called the Black Mamba, the snake is actually a brown color. It takes its name from the color inside its mouth, which it displays when threatened.

I am very shy so takes a while to get to know you but after that I’m a sweetie pie. I am totally housebroken and love to go for walks. I do well on a leash and know the command sit. My one drawback is that I can climb fences so will need a enclosed kennel or a long leash. With some training and the right family I will make a great companion.
Dog and Cat Shelter
Holidays Can Put Pets in Danger If you’re a social media user, you’ve doubtless seen at least one message warning pet owners to keep their pets away from certain foods. Being able to circulate this information across Facebook, Pinterest and other sites is one of the great benefits of online communication. Each year, I’ve done the same with this column, warning my readers about potential dangers to pets during the holidays (and throughout the year). And I definitely want to keep this information circulating. So, here are many of the common food hazards and other dangers that pet owners need to be aware of. These can cause serious illness or death: DOGS: Grapes and raisins (and currants), chocolate, macadamia nuts, avocado, onions, garlic, flavored chips, sugar-free candies (or anything containing xylitol), rhubarb, tomato plant leaves, raw bread dough, beer and wine, and liquor. Keep dogs out of the trash and away from chicken or fish bones, peach and plum pits, persimmon seeds, raw meat or fish, moldy foods and old cigar or cigarette butts (tobacco is very toxic). Lock up your marijuana stash too, please. CATS: All of the above; plus, cats are very sensitive to the following popular holiday plants: poinsettia, lily, mistletoe and amaryllis. Ivy, azalea, philodendron, caladium and diffenbachia also are dangerous. SMALL PETS: Hamsters, guinea pigs, etc., are very sensitive to changes in diet, so avoid the temptation to give them extra treats or holiday foods. They can suffer great harm if they ingest any plastic, tinsel or other tempting items lying around. Keep small pets in their cages during busy holiday get-togethers, and in a quiet spot where they won’t be stressed. If your pet exhibits any signs of distress, or is lethargic, vomiting, drooling heavily or otherwise acting abnormally, contact your veterinarian right away. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

SNOWBOARDS Did you know that January is National Snowboarding Month? Let’s look into the history of this rapidly-growing sport! • Muskegon, Michigan’s Sherman Poppen is credited with the invention of the snowboard in 1965 and is hailed as the “Father of Snowboarding.” On Christmas Day of that year, after watching his daughters standing on their sled going down a hill, he raced to his garage and tied two skis together, then tied a rope to the front of the board for steering. Poppen called it the Snurfer, combining the word “snow” with “surf.” When his daughters’ friends saw the contraption, they all wanted one, and Poppen seized the idea of patenting and marketing his invention. He licensed his product to Brunswick who began manufacturing the Snurfer.

SNOWBOARDS (Continued): • For a few years, the Snurfer was considered a kid’s toy, but in the 1970s, Poppen started scheduling snurfing competitions across the nation. It was at one of these contests that a young Jake Burton Carpenter became interested in the sport. In 1977, Jake moved to Vermont where he experimented with laminated, hardwood boards, adding bindings that the original Snurfer did not have. Avid snowboarders will easily recognize the name Burton as the leading snowboard equipment company in the industry today. • As popularity continued to grow, the first national snowboard race was held in 1982, followed by the first World Championship half pipe competition the following year. In 1983, Vermont’s Stratton Mountain Resort became the first major ski resort to open its slopes to snowboarders, and in 1991, Vail, Colorado, became the first to establish a snowboard park. Many other major resorts refused to allow snowboarders because of the “bad boy” image many snowboarders had received.

SNOWBOARDS (continued): • In 1985, the first magazine devoted entirely to snowboarding hit the newsstands with resounding success. • Snowboarding was added to the Winter Olympics at Nagano, Japan, in 1998. Canadian Ross Regaliati nabbed the gold medal, but was later stripped of the medal when accusations of drug use emerged. He was cleared of any charges and his medal was restored, giving him the honor of the first gold medalist in snowboarding. • By the year 2000, snowboarding was the fastest-growing sport in America, with about 7.2 million participants. At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy, a 20-year-old, wild-haired Shaun White captured the attention of the world as he triumphed in the half pipe event. Nicknamed “The Flying Tomato” because of his flaming red hair, White went on to win gold in 2010 in Vancouver. White also holds the record for the most gold medals and overall medal count at the X-Games. • Who snowboards? About 17% of the enthusiasts are aged 7 to 11. One out of four is aged 25 to 44. Twenty-three percent of snowboarders are women. • Today there are a total of 10 Olympic events in snowboarding, five for men and five for women, including giant slalom, half pipe, cross, slopestyle, and parallel slalom. Snowboarders account for about 30% of all business at major ski resorts. Yet there are still some resorts that are skiers-only, prohibiting snowboarding, including Vermont’s Mad River Glen and Utah’s Glen Valley and Alta.
