What are the symptoms of EV-D68 in-fection?
EV-D68 can cause mild to severe respiratory illness.
Mild symptoms may include fever, runny nose, sneezing,
cough, and body and muscle aches.
Severe symptoms may include wheezing and difficulty
breathing.
Anyone with respiratory illness should contact their doctor if
they are having difficulty breathing or if their symptoms are getting worse.
Who is at risk?
In general, infants, children, and teenagers are most likely to get infected with enteroviruses and become ill.
That's because they do not yet have immunity (protection) from previous exposures to these viruses. We be-
lieve this is also true for EV-D68. Adults can get infected with enteroviruses, but they are more likely to have
no symptoms or mild symptoms. Children with asthma may have a higher risk for severe respiratory
illness caused by EV-D68 infection.
EV-D68 treatment There is no specific treatment for EV-D68. Talk to your child's doctor about the best way to control his or her symptoms.

How do I protect myself against Ebola?
Do not handle items that may
have come in contact with an
infected person’s blood or body
fluids.
Do not touch the body of some-
one who has died from Ebola.
Do not touch bats and nonhu-
man primates or their blood and
fluids and do not touch or eat
raw meat prepared from these
animals.
Avoid facilities where Ebola pa-
tients are being treated. If out of
the country, the U.S. Embassy or
consulate is often able to provide
advice on medical facilities.
If you must travel to an area affected
by the 2014 Ebola outbreak, protect
yourself by doing the following:
Wash hands frequently or use an
alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Avoid contact with blood and body
fluids of any person, particularly
someone who is sick.

We are wrapping up marching sea-
son and football season with the Mid-
land High School Marching Band. The
students have done a great job this
season with the music and marching as
well as keeping up with the rehearsal
and contest schedule. We will continue
to travel to MHS through much of foot-
ball season, including play-off games.
Any changes will be made known to
parents well in advance. We are also
moving into the concert season and our
first individual event, the All City Audi-
tion which will be held November 17th
and 18th at Alamo Jun-
ior High. More infor-
mation will become
available as we ap-
proach this date.
Again, great job to the
band students on a
successful marching
season!
