Lyme Disease Prevention and Awareness

14 AUG 2012

Our mission is to provide Soldiers, Civilians and their Families with a

quality of life commensurate with the quality of their service.

FORT DRUM, NEW YORK


Background

24

• Lyme Disease is an infection caused by

bacteria that is commonly transmitted by deer

ticks and mice (not all ticks carry the disease).

• The tick must be imbedded in the body for

several hours to transmit the disease.

• Lyme disease can affect animals, humans

and can be transmitted to fetus if mother is

infected.

• If left untreated, can cause serious long-term

issues.

• Currently no vaccination available for

humans; however, Lyme Disease can be treated

by antibiotics.

Female Deer Ticks

FORT DRUM, NEW YORK


Symptoms/ Early Detection

25

Early localized stage (3-30 days post-tick bite)

• Red, expanding rash called erythema migrans (EM) or “Bulls-Eye”

• Fatigue, chills, fever, headache, muscle and joint aches, and

swollen lymph nodes

Early disseminated stage (days to weeks post-tick bite)

• Untreated, the infection may spread from the site of the bite to other parts of the body, producing

an array of specific symptoms that may come and go, including:

• Additional EM lesions in other areas of the body

• Facial or Bell's palsy (loss of muscle tone on one or both sides of the face)

• Severe headaches and neck stiffness due to meningitis

• Pain and swelling in the large joints (such as knees)

• Shooting pains that may interfere with sleep

• Heart palpitations and dizziness due to changes in heartbeat

Late disseminated stage (months-to-years post-tick bite)

Untreated infection symptoms may include:

• Intermittent bouts of arthritis, with severe joint pain and swelling

• Chronic neurological complaints months to years after infection

(shooting pains, numbness or tingling in the hands or feet, and problems

with short-term memory)

Erythema Migrans Rash

Individual with Bell’s Palsy

FORT DRUM, NEW YORK


Prevention

26

• Wearing light colored clothing so that ticks can be easily identified.

• Tucking in pants to boots, shirts into gloves.

• Application of insect repellent (containing 20% DEET) and applied per manufactures

recommendation to deter ticks and use of permethrin for Soldiers and DA civilians.

• Frequent self checks for individuals partaking in outdoor activities and working in tick-invested

environments. Special attention should be given to moist dark areas were ticks typically migrate

too.

• Clothing should be placed in dryer for 20-30 minutes to kill unseen ticks.

• Frequent checks of children and animals.

• Proper removal of tick to prevent infected fluid from entering body with washing and treating

area with antiseptic. (Medical professional removal of tick is recommended)

• Testing of tick to determine if a carrier of Lyme Disease.

• Routine treatment and grooming of household animals with flea and tick prevention medication.

FORT DRUM, NEW YORK


Treatment

Army Child & Youth Fee Policy

Fort Drum

School Year 2012-2013

FORT DRUM, NEW YORK


FORT DRUM, NEW YORK

Background

• Public Law 101-189 (Military Child Care Act) requires

standard Department of Defense (DoD) Child Care Fee

Policy

for all branches of the military

• Fees based on Total Family Income (TFI), not Rank or Grade

• The Military Services subsidize fees on a sliding scale for every Family

regardless of rank/grade or income

• DoD to implement one standard fee in each TFI Category

throughout all Military Services in SY2014-2015

FORT DRUM, NEW YORK


FORT DRUM, NEW YORK

Army conducted detailed Garrison Fee Analyses for SY 09-10

Findings:

Significant variances across Army – no predictability

Many “high cost” fee locations not justified

“Artificially” low fees creating great disparities when Families PCS

Inequities among installations in same geographic areas / similar

missions

Army Review and Analysis

FORT DRUM, NEW YORK


FORT DRUM, NEW YORK

DoD is transitioning to single standard to provide consistency.

Transition will continue through SY2014-2015

Army realized 100% compliance with DoD full transition fees

would financially burden some Army families:

Asked DoD for an Exception to Policy to phase in compliance

over a 2 - 3 year period, which was approved.

Implementing final phase to one standard Army fee 1 Oct 12
