Educational meeting about alpha-gal syndrome 9 Oct 2018 By Nick Roy A growing number of Adair County citizens have been diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome, a food allergy to red meat. Alpha-gal is most usually a result of being bitten by a Lone Star tick which is often found in Adair County. In areas of the country where lone star ticks are common, up to 20% of the people have tested positive for this antibody. This can trigger a mild to severe immune system reaction when they eat red meat. There is no treatment other than avoiding red meat. As the number of cases have grown in Adair County, it becomes more important that citizens and health care professionals become more familiar with the threats posed by Lone Star ticks and common symptoms observed as a result of their bite. To bring awareness of Lone Star ticks and alpha-gal, an educational meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 9th at 6pmCT at the Adair County Cooperative Extension Service, 409 Fairground St., Columbia, KY.

Farm Safety Day at the Adair County Primary Center By Laura Marcum Every year in the U.S., Kentucky, and even in Adair County there are youth that are injured or even killed in home or farming accidents. Every year farming ranks first or second in the most dangerous jobs. Now, more and more, young people are having to help out on the farm and at home and this will increase the chances of a young person getting injured. A Progressive Farmer Safety Day was planned for all 1st grade students at ACPC. On September 18, 2018, The Adair County Extension Service and the Adair County School System in conjunction with Progressive Agriculture Foundation hosted this event. It took place at the Adair FFA Barn on the High School Campus. Through hands-on activities, participants learned how to prevent farm and home accidents and how to reduce the extent of injuries if accidents do occur. Topics of the day included safety on or around tractors, livestock, and ATVs. Scheduled speakers and interactive demonstrations reinforced the importance of children taking responsibility for their own safety, respecting parents safety rules and sharing safety tips with their family and friends. Special thanks to the Adair Co. Extension Agency and the ACPC Family Resource Center for helping host this event for us. 2018-09-24 08:34:57 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education

"Being ready increases the likelihood of survival for all involved and reduces stress and worry for both pets and their owners."
