Breaks and clots in the veins of the leg are on the increase as more persons sit for longer and longer periods of time without adequate exercise. Legs are designed to be used and their disuse brings disease. Map-like patterns of purplish-blue that occur most frequently on the lower thigh are caused by blood vessels breaking and allowing the blood to seep into the surrounding tissue. Most frequently, the breaks occur because today’s sedentary occupations do not exercise the legs enough frequently enough. Without adequate exercise to help the muscles support the blood vessel walls, the walls become flabby and break and unsightly blotches of blue and purple are the result. The splotches also can be painful and severe enough to demand medical attention, but the greatest danger by far from lack of adequate leg exercise is the formation of blood clots. The clots can block blood flow in major leg veins with serious consequences or even travel to the lungs where blockage can be fatal. When major veins in the leg are blocked by plots, there can be intense pain, tissue damage and swelling. In rare cases, the damage is so severe as to force major tissue grafts or even amputations. Prompt medical treatment is essential but it is far more important to prevent the occurrence of clots whenever possible. Persons who are physically active throughout most of the day, with intermittent periods of rest that involve elevating the legs, seldom have major varicosities or leg clots. The exercise helps the leg vessels to return the blood to the heart for recirculation. So does elevating the legs periodically because any liquid can find its way downhill rather easily. 226 Pavuk, Mr*.

Of the dozens of parasites capable of infecting man, none probably produces a greater feeling of revulsion that the beef tapeworm which attaches itself to the wall of the intestine and grows up to 25 feet or more in length. Its body consists of thousands of segments, each segment of which is capable of becoming a complete worm when it matures and breaks off. Each mature segment contains approximately 100,000 eggs and so the ability of the worm to reproduce itself is almost astronomical. The incidence of tapeworm is not extremely high, but any incidence is too much. In Pennsylvania, it is estimated that about one out of 4,000 persons may be infected. Where does it come from? The cycle of the tapeworm’s life begins with cows and allied animals ingesting the eggs while grazing. The eggs hatch in the cow’s small intestine and the thentiny embryos are carried through the blood stream to muscle tissue. Adequate cooking of beef kills the embryos but they continue their life cycle when they encounter a person who likes his or her beef rare. Then the embryo is released in the digestive tract, attaches itself to the small intestine and grows into a complete tapeworm in two to three months. Without corrective measures, the tapeworm may live in humans for up to 25 years, shedding eggs and worm segments daly. Often the tapeworm produces no symptoms in its host and when they do occur, they usually are mild digestive upsets or somethimes mild pain that mimics appendicitis. The only other sign of the presence of the tapeworm is itching around the anal opening. When tapeworms are present, examination of the stool may disclose tiny eggs and moving worm segments {hat may be a half-inch or more in length. It takes an expert to differentiate the tapeworm from several other parasites that use man as an intermediate host. Identification is important so that the proper medical treatment can be given. General “worm medicine” usually is not effective against the tapeworm.
