TIDBITS® AVOIDS POISON by Janet Spencer
TROYER
12 pack 12 oz cans
Gallia County Fair Schedule & Events Inside!
In the 1940s there were only 60 possible poisons that could be used to kill a person. Then came the chemical explosion, and by the mid-1970s there were some 5,000 poisons which could be combined in different ways to produce perhaps a quarter of a million different deadly doses. Come along with Tidbits as we avoid poisons! BOTULISM • In a small town in Germany in 1735, thirteen people shared a sausage. A few hours later, they all became sick. Six died, and the other seven took months to recover. The strange illness was named after the Latin word for sausage— botulism. • The botulism toxin is seven million times more powerful than cobra venom. One ounce, properly distributed, could wipe out everyone in the U.S. The botulism organism evolved on this planet some two billion years ago. At that time, there was no oxygen on Earth. • Today botulism lives indefinitely as a dormant spore in air and dirt, surviving temperatures between absolute zero and boiling. When it finds the right conditions— plenty of food and an absence of oxygen— it multiplies, releasing toxins. Deaths from botulism are particularly worrying for home canners. If a jar has not been heated high enough or long enough, the botulism organism will thrive.

THE FACTS BEHIND POISONS • A poison called saxitoxin found in contaminated seafood is so deadly that 2/10ths of 1 milligram, or 1/100th of a drop, can kill a full grown man through paralysis. HOW can such a small amount of a substance kill such a large organism? One way is through enzyme sabotage. • An enzyme is a catalyst for biochemical reactions. In very tiny amounts, an enzyme has a great effect on a living system. The enzyme maltase takes water and other materials and turns them into glucose. The enzyme cytochrome turns oxygen in the blood into a usable form. There are thousands of enzymes in the human body. A single liver cell has about 50,000 enzymes. Find a substance that turns off a single important enzyme, and you have a major monkey wrench in the machinery of the body. A dose of cyanide weighing as much as a postage stamp will shut down the cytochrome enzyme. There will be plenty of oxygen in the blood stream, but no way to get it into the cells without cytochrome. • Another type of poison is one that affects the nervous system. All important signals in the body are sent through the biological wiring of the nerves. Many substances cause the signals to fail: either the “phone” is always busy; or the bell fails to ring; or the phone is answered but the voice is so distorted it can’t be understood. Important messages such as “Breathe!” fail to get through. Curare, a resin from tropical plants, does just that, by relaxing the body to such an extent that breathing stops, the same way saxitoxin works as well. IT’S A FACT • The oleander is a shrubby tree that is so poisonous that single leaf is fatal to man. At a tragic beach party, a dozen people used oleander sticks to roast hot dogs over a fire. The whole group was found dead at the scene.

Picture-Perfect Pet
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Every time I go onto social media I see pictures and videos of adorable pets doing adorable things. This includes my friends’ pets. But I know from experience that not all of my friends’ dogs and cats are so cute and well-behaved. My worry is that people will see all these cute animals and think taking care of a pet is easy, when it really isn’t. I have two rescue animals, a cat and a dog. They both have health and behavioral issues. Forget about holding still for a picture! What are your thoughts on this social-media trend? -- Carol in Saginaw, Michigan DEAR CAROL: I’m honestly not sure that social-media images and videos necessarily give the impression that caring for a pet is easy. Perhaps a few years ago, when not everyone was on Facebook or Instagram, some may have thought owning a dog or cat was an easy task.
People post videos and pictures of their families and their pets at their very best (or cutest or funniest) on social media because they’re proud of them. You don’t see a whole lot of videos of baby with an earache, or two ordinarily congenial dogs suddenly snapping at each other, or that day Sparky got worms. Not many of those stressful dramas that make up everyday life make it into a social-media feed. It’s also totally fine to be proud of your pets and not post pictures of them online. You don’t even need a reason. So, be gentle with your friends and their tendency to post tons of awww-inducing moments. It’s more important that those pets are loved and cared for, just as it sounds like you are doing with your two pets. Send your tips, questions or comments to ask@ pawscorner.com.

POISONOUS PLOTS • In 1776 a cook in George Washington’s camp overheard a plot to kill General Washington by poisoning his peas. The cook tipped off the General, who quietly ate the rest of his lunch, leaving the peas untouched. The peas were later fed to some chickens, who all died. It is not known what became of the traitor. • Imprisoned for years until his death on the island of St. Helena, Napoleon Bonaparte was so ill that he was certain he was being poisoned. His doctors scoffed. When he died, they said his death was due to stomach cancer. Years later, the science of toxicology had advanced to the point where researchers were able to analyze his hair for evidence of poison. They found that for weeks before his death, he had regularly been fed arsenic in his meals. TOXIC FISH • The most venomous fish is the stonefish. Each of the 13 dorsal spines on the fish carries a dose of neurotoxin powerful enough to kill a full-size shark or a human who touches it. The neurotoxin attacks nerve cells, inhibiting their function. The result is paralysis, which is fatal if the toxin reaches the heart or lungs. Fortunately, the venom can be broken down if heat is applied, which generally involves immersing the affected area in water heated to 113F (45C) for as long as possible. ACCIDENTAL DEATHS • Accidental poisonings are the leading cause of deaths in the home. Among children under the age of five, medicines account for 44% of poisonings, followed in frequency by cleaning agents, cosmetics, plants, and paint products. More children are poisoned on Sunday than any other day, possibly because parents are sleeping late and the children are unsupervised. Prime danger hours during the week are between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m., when parents are fixing dinner or otherwise distracted. (continued next page)

Jct. U.S. 35 and St. Rt. 327 • Jackson, OH 45640 740-288-9995 Jayne Mansfield Hot Water Bottle
Q: I have a 1957 Jayne Mansfield hot water bottle. Does it have any value? --Tim, Taylor, Michigan A: Your Jayne Mansfield container doubled as both a hot water bottle and cocktail shaker. It was made by Poynter Products in 1957 and featured a storage stand. With the original cap and stand, and in good condition, your item is probably worth in the $75 to $150 range, according to several I found on eBay. *** Q: I have a small syrup pitcher that I have been told is a piece of Stemless Daisy. It is very similar to milk glass but has relief-molded flowers on a crosscut background, which is much different from the milk glass I have seen. Can you help me identify this piece? -- Barbara, Rio Rancho, New Mexico A: Stemless Daisy, sometimes called Cosmos, is a pattern glass that was produced by Consolidated Lamp and Glass Company between 1894 and about 1915. Although milk glass, the floral design makes the Cosmos pieces unique. Although I was unable to find Cosmos glass being offered on eBay, I suspect your pitcher might be valued in the $200 to $300 range. It is rare, it is early, and it is desirable. Q I have an incredible collection of baseball
cards that was started by my dad during the 1950s. Although I haven’t counted them, they fill six shoeboxes. Can you recommend some price guides? -- Henry, Davenport, Iowa A: There are several excellent guides. Three I especially like are “Baseball Card Price Guide” by Joe Clemens, “The Standard Catalogue of Baseball Cards” edited by Don Fluckinger, and “Baseball Card Price Guide” by the editors of Sports Collectors Digest, all published by Krause Books. *** Q: My husband has several large albums of old and new postage stamps, even some from Nazi Germany. Would anyone be interested in them? -- Maxine, Albuquerque, New Mexico A: You have several excellent coin and stamp dealers in Albuquerque, and that is where you should begin your search. My advice is that you contact at least two dealers to get an idea of current demand and values. There is a website that also might be helpful: www.stamp-collectingresource.com. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com. Due to the large volume of mail he receives, Mr. Cox cannot personally answer all reader questions, nor does he do appraisals. Do not send any materials requiring return mail.

* Unless you live in a snowy mountain town, you’ve probably never heard of skijoring. In what is probably the most popular contemporary version of this sport, a skier is pulled by one or more dogs wearing a harness that allows the dogs to be directed. The racecourse can be short, for sprints, or as long as 270 miles in cross-country competitions. Equestrian skijoring is rather more like water-skiing: A horse with a rider pulls a skier on a towline through a series of jumps and obstacles. Equestrian skijoring was a demonstration sport at the 1928 Winter Olympics in Switzerland. * Those who study such things say that honey is the only food that doesn’t spoil. So, next time you run across some 3,000-year-old honey, feel free to chow down. * At a Mets game at Citi Field, a woman lost a gold tooth down a toilet, and she decided to reach in after it. Unfortunately for her, the restrooms there use a high-vacuum system, and she was pulled in up to her armpit. Unable to extricate herself, she had to spend several hours in this undignified position until a plumber could come to her aid. *** Thought for the Day: “There is no greater fallacy than the belief that aims and purposes are one thing, while methods and tactics are another.” -- Emma Goldman (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com LESSONS LEARNED • A bean with the Latin name of Abrus precatorius is shiny and attractive, being red and black. These beans were regularly used in jewelry and bead work. No one suspected they were poisonous, because a bean that has an unbroken shell will pass through the digestive system without doing any harm. But when holes were drilled through the bean, it provided easy access to the toxin. Children who put the beads in their mouths, or women who wore them on sweaty necks died. Finally the connection was made between the bead and death, and they are no longer used. • In the 1800s hats made from felt were popular. Hat makers had to use mercury when forming the hats, and would breathe mercury vapor and get mercury on their skin. Soon their hands would begin to shake and they would undergo weird personality changes, eventually becoming “mad as a hatter” because of the toxic effects of mercury poisoning. ANTIDOTE ANECDOTE • In 1830 a pharmacist from Paris rose before the members of the French Academy and told them that powdered charcoal was an effective antidote to many poisons of the day. To prove it, he swallowed ten times the amount of strychnine needed to kill a human, and followed it with half an ounce of charcoal. The strychnine would normally have killed him with terrible convulsions immediately, yet he walked away unharmed. For the next century, charcoal, because of its incredibly absorbent nature, was the premiere antidote the world over. In the stomach it absorbs and deactivates alcohol, arsenic, barbiturates, cocaine, digitalis, ipecac, morphine, nicotine, opium, and quinine, among other things. Even today, a poison victim in a modern hospital is often treated with a hemodetoxifier, in which the blood is removed from the body, run through a fancy charcoal filter, then returned to the bloodstream.

Amazing Animals SNAKE BITES
• There are 20 species of poisonous snakes in the U.S., and about 8,000 people are bitten by them each year. Of those, 5 to 10 will die. • There are two kinds of venom, which is a modified saliva. One is a nerve poison that stops the heart and lungs. The other attacks the blood cells and tissues, making the meal easier to digest. Small animals die quickly but large animals are seldom killed. The snake has enzymes in its own stomach that deactivates the poison. Still, if a snake accidentally bites itself, it dies. • Antivenin can provide relief, and generally cuts the hospital stay in half. Antivenin is produced by injecting horses (or sheep, rabbits, and goats) with ever-increasing doses of snake venom. The horse produces antibodies to protect it from the venomous proteins. Blood is then withdrawn from the horse, and those antibodies are separated and harvested. When injected into a human who has suffered a snake bite, the horse antibodies bind to the poison and neutralize it. However, many people have severe reactions when horse proteins are injected into their bodies. It can trigger an allergic reaction known as serum sickness, which is sometimes worse than the snake bite itself. Symptoms can include fever, rashes, nausea, weakness, nerve inflammation, and sometimes permanent muscle atrophy. • Researchers have found that when chickens are injected with venom, their antibodies become concentrated in the yolks of their eggs. It’s easier to extract pure antivenin from egg yolk, and humans are much less likely to suffer allergic reactions to egg proteins than to horse proteins. Researchers hope that this will one day be the method used to treat snake bites worldwide.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 SNAKE BITES (cont’d) • An Australian snake called the taipan is so deadly that there has never been a documented case of anyone surviving a bite. One researcher who milked a single taipan calculated that a single bite would be enough to kill 23,500 mice. The taipan is considered the deadliest snake in the world. • A cobra has enough venom stored in its glands to kill 30 people. The bite of a cobra can kill a man in 15 minutes if the dose is big enough. Weight for weight, cobra venom is 40 times deadlier than cyanide, five times more deadly than the venom of the black widow, and about the same toxicity as scorpion venom. Three drops can be deadly. Cobra venom is especially toxic because it contains a bundle of different poisons: one affects the nerves, one destroys red blood cells, and one paralyzes the muscles. • The deadliest snake in the U.S. is the eastern diamondback rattlesnake, although it ranks #23 on the list of most world’s most toxic snake venoms. • 75% of snake bites in the U.S. are from a rattlesnake. • Rattlesnake venom that has been stored for 50 years still retains its potency. • Worldwide, more people in India die from snake bites every year than any other country, with around 11,000 yearly fatalities annually, accounting for over half of snakebite deaths worldwide. Pakistan comes second with about 8,200 fatalities each year. • Although there are about 50 different kinds of venomous snakes in Australia, 80% of all snakebites in the country come from the eastern brown snake. • Canada has only two species of venomous snakes and both are species of rattlesnake. • The words “venom” and the “-venin” in “antivenin” come from the Latin “venene” meaning potion or poison.

WORDS: CURIOUS COUPLES
• What do ankle and anchor have in common? They share the Latin root word “ank” meaning “bend.” The Anglo-Saxons borrowed “ank” to make the flexible ankle; the Greeks took the same root word and applied it to the curve of the anchor which held their ships in place. • “Baby,” “babble,” and “barbarian” all spring from the Greek word “barbarous” meaning a foreigner or one who speaks an incomprehensible language. It’s the same story for the rhubarb plant: the land along the river Volga was known to the Greeks as the Rha. Since this was an unknown territory, they called it “barbaron” or barbarian. A plant they found there was dubbed “rha barbaron” meaning “from the barbarian land of Rha” and then shortened to rhubarb. • The words “bull” and “fool” both come from the Anglo-Saxon word “bula” meaning a swelled-up creature, such as a big bull or a big-headed fool. • According to legend, St. Martin was an officer in the Roman army. He was riding his horse along a lonely road one cold winter day when a beggar stopped him and asked for alms. Martin had no money, but seeing that the beggar was shivering in his rags, he took off his cloak, cut it in two with his sword, and gave half to the beggar. The story goes that the beggar then revealed himself to be Christ. A shrine was erected on the spot to commemorate the divine event where Martin had offered Christ half of a cloak. The shrine was called a “cappella” which is Latin for “little cloak.” Through the years every roadside shrine became known as a cappella. The French turned the word into “chapelle” and the English translated it as “chapel.” The Latin word for cloak is “cappa” and gives us the word cape. Therefore, “cape” and “chapel” spring from the same source. (cont’d)

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com CURIOUS COUPLES (cont’d) • The Anglo-Saxon word “heath” meant a wasteland, and gave us the words heath, heather, and heathen. • “Polak” means Polish man, and “polka” means Polish woman. When a new dance originating in Bohemia took the world by storm, it was called the polka. The polka was very popular and many different items were named after the dance. When a new fabric was invented, the manufacturer decided to name the new design “polka dots.” • “Glamour” and “grammar” both come from the same root word. In the 1500s, anyone who could speak and write Latin grammar was thought be have special magical powers. In England such a person was said to have “gramarye” and the Scots pronounced it “glamour.” Both meant that any person capable of understanding Latin was surely capable of casting charms as well. • “Trunk” is the Latin word for tree, so “tree trunk” is redundant. A traveling case became known as a trunk because the first ones were made out of the hollowed out section of a tree. • “Infans” is Latin for “not able to speak” meaning a baby, or a member of the “infantry” who is not allowed to speak unless spoken to. • “Bursa” is the Latin word for pocket, which explains why “disburse” means out of pocket and “reimburse” means back in the pocket. A closed, fluid-filled pocket in the human body which functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body is called a burse. When a bursa becomes inflamed, the condition is called bursitis. • In Old English, “grappe” meant a cluster of fruit growing together, and “grape” was the hook that they were gathered with. Today, “grape” means the fruit itself, and “grapple” means struggling with a problem much as a harvester struggles with a hook.

By Keith Roach, M. D, Tell Family About HIV
DEAR DR. ROACH: Can a person who has AIDS cook for his or her family and loved ones without fear of getting them sick? How long does it take to die once you are diagnosed with AIDS? How does someone with AIDS die? -D.R. ANSWER: HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, is acquired usually through sexual contact, exposure to contaminated blood or passed from mother to child. There has never been a reported case where a person was infected through casual contact, such as sharing eating utensils or using the same bathroom. HIV has never been reported as being transmitted through saliva, tears or sweat. It isn’t transmitted by insects, either. However, it’s not recommended to share razors or toothbrushes, since these can be contaminated by blood. The progression of disease caused by HIV is highly variable. There often is a fever and flulike symptoms at the time of first infection. Most people will test positive by the usual blood test within a few months of becoming infected. People with HIV often remain without symptoms for years; however, the virus continues to replicate and destroy CD4 cells, a key regulator of the immune system, during this time. The term “AIDS” is reserved for advanced HIV infection with a specific, defining illness, such as Pneumocystis pneumonia; or a CD4 count below 200 (normal is around 1,000). As far as prognosis goes, the most important single factor is whether a person with HIV infection is prescribed (and properly takes!) appropriate treatment. There certainly are many people who have had HIV for over 20 years without getting AIDS. With very advanced HIV infection, the immune system is unable to fight off infections, but also, the body cannot fight off cancer. Since people with HIV can live so long, heart disease and any other cause is possible. Very often, people die with, not from, their HIV. For people living with HIV and who haven’t told their family, I recommend doing so. I know it’s complex, and it may not be right for everybody, but it will help relieve stress for most. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband has Meniere’s disease. We cannot find anyone who can help him. Is there any medication for this? -- L.M. ANSWER: Meniere’s disease causes episodes of vertigo, tinnitus and eventually hearing loss. It is caused by swelling in the organ of balance in the inner ear, but the reason for the swelling isn’t clear. Before being seen by a doctor, your husband can try to identify triggers for the attacks. Common triggers include a high-salt diet, tobacco, alcohol and stress. A low-salt diet can dramatically reduce episodes. ENT doctors are usually expert in treating Meniere’s disease. A diuretic such as hydrochlorothiazide often is used if diet alone doesn’t help. The booklet on vertigo explains this disruptive condition in detail and outlines its treatment. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 801W, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell. edu. To view and order health pamphlets, visit www.rbmamall.com, or write to Good Health, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

Know the Signs of Senior Abuse More than 20,000 calls are made every day to abuse hotlines. Unfortunately, only 1 in 14 instances of abuse are reported, so the number of unreported cases is huge. Domestic abuse can include any of the following if the abuser: Prevents you from going to work or to see friends or family. Takes money or blocks access to it. Destroys property. Becomes physically violent. Makes threats. Belittles your opinions and makes all the decisions. Denies any abuse is happening and shifts blame. Has a bad temper that explodes and makes you afraid. However, because of frailty or age, seniors can be at the mercy of caregivers or family members and abuse also can include: Being denied food or medication, or overmedicating. Being forced to give money to the abuser. (Seniors, always go into the bank to conduct business so the tellers can get to know you. Bank tellers can be of help if a senior continues to come in to make large withdrawals.) Physical or emotional abuse. Use of physical force, including restraints or confinement. Intentional neglect. Seniors, ask yourself: Are you giving away money when you don’t want to? Are you constantly afraid and feel you’re walking on eggshells, fearing a reaction? Are you afraid to ask for your medication or food? Are you blamed for things that aren’t your fault? Are you humiliated or ignored or confined? Have you been hit or shoved? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, there is help. Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. Call 911 and say you’re being abused. Someone will help you. If you have no phone, flag down the mail carrier or newspaper delivery person or anyone who comes to your door. Tell them you need help. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

The rate of veteran suicide is down ... slightly. For many years, we were losing 22 veterans every single day. By 2014, based on analysis of 3 million records from 1979 to 2014 from all 50 states, that number is down to 20. The results of the research show that: * Veteran suicides account for 18 percent of all suicides, but veterans make up only 8.5 percent of the population. * In 2014, approximately 65 percent of veterans who died from suicide were aged 50 years or older. * Since 2001, veteran suicides increased 32 percent while civilian suicides rose 23 percent. * Veterans who used Department of Veterans Affairs services had an 8.8 percent suicide rate increase, while among those who didn’t, rates surged 38.6 percent. Broken down by gender, the rates show that male veterans who didn’t use VA services had a 35 percent increase in suicides, while the rate among female veterans soared a whopping 98 percent. Those numbers are staggering and carry a strong message: Say what you will about using the VA for care, but the numbers don’t lie. Treatment via the VA helps lower the rate of veteran suicide. Here are a few of the warning signs of suicide: increasing use of drugs or alcohol, withdrawing or feeling isolated, talking about seeking revenge and displaying extreme mood swings. For veterans or family and friends of veterans in trouble, the Crisis Line at 1-800-273-8255 (press 1) can help. Or go online to www.VeteransCrisisLine.net or text 838255. Access to mental-health crisis intervention is immediate when you make contact. The Crisis Line has handled over 2.3 million calls, 289,000 chat room connections and 55,00 texts. It dispatched emergency services 61,000 times. If you or a veteran you know shows signs of being in danger of suicide, don’t hesitate. Get help now. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
