24 Hour Emergency Phone: 234-3834 What to Do About Fever Blisters (Cold Sores)

In any given year, about 20% of the US population will experience cold sores or fever blisters. The typical lip blister not only causes pain and discomfort, its appearance for many can also be the cause of a certain amount of emotional distress. Fever blisters usually hang around for 7 to 10 days in individuals with normal immune systems. Things that may bring on one or more fever blister lesions include exposure to ultraviolet light, malnutrition, a recent illness, or a menstrual period. Almost half of the population carries the virus that causes such blisters in an inactive state.

Prescription products approved for treatment of fever blisters include penciclovir cream (Denavir), acyclovir ointment (Zovirax), and valcyclovir (Valtrex). Docosanol cream (Abreva) is an over-the-counter product also approved for improving fever blisters when applied several times daily, at the first signs of symptoms. If exposure to ultraviolet light is a known trigger, applying lipstick or balm with sunscreen such as Blistex before the exposure and every 2 hours thereafter may prevent an outbreak. Other over-the-counter protectant products that may help soothe the irritated area include camphor and phenol (Campho-Phenique Cold Sore gel), benzocaine (Anbesol), and benzyl alcohol (Zilactin).

Certification Continued from Page 1

Texas Cooperative Extension, Colorado County, is offering a food manager certification-training course. This two-day program will be offered for $79 on Feb. 24 and 25 at the Ag. Building, 316 Spring Street, Colum- bus. Cost includes training, materials, and the State food manager certifica- tion examination.

This program is designed to not only prepare foodservice managers to pass the certification examination, it will provide valuable education regard- ing the safe handling of food.

Almost 500 of every dollar Ameri- cans spend on food is spent on meals prepared away from home. Therefore, careful attention to food safety will help keep customers safe and satisfied.

Foodborne illnesses are estimated to cost thousands of dollars in lost wages, insurance and medical bills.

With these statistics, knowledge of how to prevent foodborne illness is essential.

The benefits of improved food safety include:

•Increased customer satisfaction •Improved relationships with health

officials, and •Prevention of bad publicity and

law suits due to foodborne illness.

By attending the course, food- service managers will learn about:

•Identifying potentially hazardous foods and common errors in food han- dling

•Preventing contamination and cross-contamination of food

•Teaching and encouraging per- sonal hygiene for employees

•Complying with government regu- lations

YMaintaining clean utensils, equip- ment and surroundings, and

•Controlling pests. Following simple food safety prac-

tices can prevent foodborne illnesses. For more information about the Food Manager Certification Training course of Texas Cooperative Extension, called "Food Safety: It's Our Business," call Sally Garrett at 979-732-2530.
