Piled—up stress can lead farmers
and ranchers to develop physical or
mental health issues, but they can
take steps to reduce stress and create
healthy ways to manage it, says a
North Dakota State University Ex-
; tension expert.
1 "Farm and ranch families often
experience pressure. conflict and un-
certainty, especially during harvest-
ing and planting," says Sean
Brotherson, Extension family sci—
ence specialist. "If feelings of frus~
,tration and helplessness build up,
-, they can lead to intense family prob-
lems involving spouses or partners,
, children, parents and other relatives.
If left unresolved, these feelings can
lead to costly accidents, poor deci-
; sions, strained relationships, health
concerns and risks, including sni—
cide."
Using strategies such as control—
ling events, attitudes and responses

Methods for farmers,
ranchers to manage stress
according to Brotherson.
"Farmers, ranchers and their fam-
ily members and employees can
learn to manage their stresses well,
even during planting, harvesting or
times of difficulty," he says. "The
key is to be flexible and maintain a
balanced lifestyle. Make time daily
to take care of yourself because your
work is vital to all of us. Your health
is your most important asset on your
farm or ranch operation. ”
To help manage stress, Brother—
son suggests:
* Taking control of events by
planning ahead and discussing who
can be available to help before key
seasons arrive — Make time to set pri-
orities so you can focus on what
needs to be done today and what can
wait.
* Taking control of attitudes that
influence you — Identify the sources
of the stress you have, and which
ones you can and cannot change.
Shift your focus off worrying and
onto problem solving. Notice what
you have achieved rather than what
you did not accomplish. Set goals
and daily expectations that are real-
istic. How you view a situation is a
key factor in creating or eliminating
stress.
* Controlling your responses to
stressful conditions Take a break
when feeling stressed, and focus on
relaxing your body and mind. Take
three deep breaths slowly and let go
of unwanted stress. Think positive
thoughts, balance work and play, find
someone to talk to and seek help
when you need it.

ranch family members to get addi-

Department of Health (NDDoH) and
Fargo Cass Public Health are re-
sponding to reports of three individ-
uals with Legionnaires’ disease
;: associated with a hotel water park in
Casselton, ND.
Three people diagnosed with Le—
l:gionnaire’s disease were reported to
izthe department between July 2018
i and January 2019, and all reported
Espending some time at the Days Inn
{of Casselton prior to their illnesses.
:None of the ill people were overnight

;ported. Hotel management has been

collected from the spa filter on Feb-
ruary 13. Spas are often associated
with Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks
due to their temperature and ability
to aerosolize Legionella bacteria in
small water droplets.
Upon notification of the positive
Legionella test on February 21, the
hotel again drained and closed its spa
until further notice and is committed
to the public’s safety. The pool re-
mains open. With support from the
hotel, Fargo Cass Public Health will
continue to work with the facility.
“If you spent time at the hotel,
especially in the water park area,
between February 7 and 21 and are
ill with undiagnosed pneumonia or
you develop symptoms in the two
weeks foilbwihg "visit, please
see a health care provider to be
evaluated for possible Legion-
naire’s disease,” said Laura Cron-
quist, epidemiologist with the
N DDoH. “There are no recommen-
dations to prevent illness once peo-
ple have been exposed to
Legionella bacteria. Instead, the
focus is on rapid diagnosis and
treatment if people develop symp-
toms after a possible exposure.”

Legionnaires’ disease is a bacter-
ial pneumonia that can be severe, so
prompt diagnosis and antibiotic treat-
ment is important. Symptoms in—
clude fever, fatigue, headache,
muscle aches, chills, shortness of
breath, loss of appetite and coughing.
The disease is spread by inhaling the
line spray from water sources con—
taining Legionella bacteria. It is not
spread from person to person.
Most people exposed to Le-
gionella bacteria do not develop Le—
gionnaires’ disease. People over the
age of 50, smokers or those with cer-
tain medical conditions including
weakened immune systems, dia—
betes, chronic lung disease or other _,
chronic health conditions are at in- i
tact your health care provider.
In 201 8, ten peOple were reported ‘:
to have Legionnaires’ disease in
North Dakota. Two individuals with
Legionnaires’ disease have been re-
ported in 2019.
More information about Legion—
naires’ disease is available on the
NDDoH website or from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.
