Bat bites cause limited injury and therefore can be difficult to detect. Any person with direct bat contact or who might be unaware of bat contact (for example, awakening with a bat in the room) should undergo evaluation for rabies exposure. Rabies is preventable if treatment is started quickly after an exposure and before any symptoms appear.

3 NORTH SHORE HEALTH DEPARTMENT Did You Know? The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that each year nearly 300 children younger than five drown in swimming pools and spas and an additional 4,000 children that age go to hospital emergency rooms due to submersion injuries in pools and spas. It s not just full sized pools, either. From 2005 to 2008, submersion fatalities associated with portable pools averaged 35 deaths each year for children 4 and under. Midsummer is a great time to remind parents and caregivers that cooling off in a swimming pool or spa also means taking vital steps to ensure children are staying safer in and around the water. This year, the Pool Safely campaign is hosting its third annual Pool Safety Pledge Week from July a week dedicated to reminding all adults and children to take the Pool Safety Pledge and adopt simple safety steps to save lives in and around pools and spas every day. You can Pool Safely by adopting extra safety steps: Make sure kids learn to swim Properly fence all pools Always watch kids in and around the water Stay away from drains Know life-saving skills To sign your own Pool Safety Pledge, visit Staff had the mid-year review of our Maternal and Child Health grants with the State. This year the NSHD is focusing on two objectives pertaining to Maternal and Child Health. The first focuses on Adolescent Suicide, and we are coordinating and facilitating evidence-based suicide prevention practices with community groups such as REDgen. The second is supporting workplaces to become breastfeeding friendly, and we are working with the Milwaukee County Breastfeeding Coalition to develop a program to support and recognize North Shore businesses in doing so. Public Health Nurses assisted with the North Shore Fire/Rescue s first Safety Camp, held at Parkway School in Glendale. They did a session on Pedestrian Safety. Campers maneuvered through an obstacle course with and without distractions such as playing a video game or reading a book. This experience demonstrated how devices make people unaware of their surroundings and put them at risk for falls, running into objects, or getting hit by moving obstacles.
