 CHILDREN’S
HEALTH MINUTE
Presented
by the TexCare
60 Second Radio Feature MP3
"Meningitis”
FOR AIR WEEK OF July 22, 2002
Texas has wonderful
rivers and lakes, but don’t let
your children swim in warm or stagnant
water this summer – it can be harmful
to their health.
Hi, I’m Dr. John Hellerstedt with
the Children’s Health Minute presented
by this station and TexCare—connecting
Texas families with children’s
health insurance for 18 dollars a month
or less.
Warm, slow moving bodies of water are
prime breeding grounds for germs that
can cause ear infections, skin irritation
and diarrhea. And in some rare instances
a type of germ that can cause a fatal
brain infection can also be present
in stagnant water. The infection occurs
when the meningitis germ is forcefully
inhaled, usually from diving or jumping
into water.
Knowing how to pick a safe place to
swim is an important part of summer
water safety.
Keep
your kids healthy. Call TexCare at
1-800-647-6558 to apply or when it's
time to renew your children's health
care coverage.
That's 1-800-647-6558."
