A BON VOYAGE NEWS FLASH
July & August
FLORIDA WAS BUILT ON AN ANT HILL
University of Florida Update
Dealing with ants in Floridais a full time job. Ants are highly organized and very efficient at their jobs. They invade our homes and businesses in great numbers, nesting anywhere from the attic spcae down to the foundation. There are only a few native species left as ants from other countries have invaded Florida over the years. The "Terror Ants" Florida is subject to now are the Red Improted Fire Ant and the European Fire Ant which can give you a painful sting. Other less-known terror ants are the elongated twig ant and the little fire ant. The twig ant specializes in suprise attacks, jumping from trees to sting people in the neck. Terror ants are part of our lives here in Florida.
War on Terror Ants will protect our way of life, save our native fauna and even save human lives.
THE LAWN AND ORNAMENTAL WAR
Over the summer months, the invaders are Sod web Worms, Chinch Bugs and several types of fungus, Brown patch being the worst in the lawn. Caterpillars, grasshoppers, mealy bugs, fungus and scale affect the shrubs. Regular treatment every other month is recommended. Our palm trees need regular care also, as most are not native to Florida. There are a host of insects, fungus and air bourn disorders that affect most palms. No matter the situation, experts agree that maintaining over-all health is the most affevtive weapon.
SCAM ALERT
Medical records are the mother lode for identify theft. This is not like a credit card where the bank eats the loss. The victim often has to pay for care not received. With patient health records becomming all computerized, cyber criminals see the opportunity. Protect yourself; require patient photo ID, copy everything in your medical file, read everything you get from insurers even if it says "this is not a bill", monitor your credit report at www.AnulaCreditReport.com, don't carry medical cards in your wallet or purse: make a photocopy and obscure the social security number and lastly, avoid Internet and storefront offers for free treatment.
A HEALTHIER WORLD
According to a 15-year study presented at the Toranto Indoor Air conference, women who work at home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than those who work away from home. The study concluded that this was a direct result of the increased exposure to toxic chemicals, many of which are found in common household products. More that 9 out of 10 suspected poison exposures occur at home with household products. An EPA sutdy found that toxic chemicals in household cleaners ar three times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air pollution. Of 2,983 chemicals analyzed that are found in person care products: 884 are toxic, 146 can cause tumors, 218 can cause reproductive complications, 778 cause acute toxicity, 314 cause biological mutations and 376 cause skin and eye irritation.
