PREVENTION STEPS. NOW IN PLACE. EMANI. WELL, MARISSA. TOM. SEVERAL COMMUNITIES ACROSS NEW HAMPSHIRE ARE NOW HAVING TO TAKE PREVENTATIVE STEPS LIKE SPRAYING FOR MOSQUITOES TO REALLY DECREASE OUR CHANCES OF HAVING MORE CASES OF TRIPOLI POP UP. AND THAT'S NOT ONLY THE CASE HERE IN HAMPSTEAD OR IN THE SANBORN REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, BUT ALSO IN PLACES LIKE KINGSTON AND NEWTON. TOWN OFFICIALS THERE SAYING THEY WILL ALSO BE SPRAYING FOR THE INSECTS AROUND SCHOOLS, PARKS AND RECREATIONAL AREAS, RECESS AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES IN THOSE TOWNS ARE NOW BEING CANCELED FOR TOMORROW AS WELL. CHIEF OF INFECTIOUS INFECTIOUS DISEASES AT MASS GENERAL BRIGHAM. DOCTOR ROUTE 9 BARNABAS TELLS ME ABOUT 95% OF PEOPLE BIT BY MOSQUITOES INFECTED WITH TRIPOLI. DON'T GET SICK OR EVEN REALLY DEVELOVELOP SYMPTOMS. BUT SHE SAYS BEING BITTEN CAN STILL BE SERIOUS AND LEAD TO FEVER, CONFUSION, BRAIN SWELLING OR WORSE. DOCTOR BARNABAS ALSO TELLS ME THERE'S REALLY NO OFFICIAL CURE FOR TRIPOLI. YOU KNOW, WE ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC TREATMENTS, SO IT WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE CARE. SO TAKING MEDICATION TO REDUCE FEVER, BEING IN THE HOSPITAL IF THAT IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE SUPPORTIVE CARE. BUT INTERESTINGLY, WE DON'T HAVE VACCINES EITHER. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE VACCINES FOR HORSES. AND DESPITE ALL OF THAT, THERE ARE STSTILL, OF COURSE, THINGS E CAN DO TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM BEING BIT LIKE COVERING UP, WEARING LONG SLEEVES, REALLY WEARING BUG SPRAY. THOSE ARE ALL THINGS WE CAN DO TO LIMIT OUR CHANCES OF BEING BITTEN BY A MOSQUITO INFECTED WITH TRIPOLI
