Older Adults Express Anxiety In Different Ways

While there are several factors that can cause anxiety in older adults, it can be difficult to identify because they express anxiety in unique ways, according to an expert at Baylor College of Medicine. According to Dr. Melinda Stanley, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at BCM, common types of anxiety disorders in adults include:• Generalized anxiety• Specific fears and phobias

• Social phobias• Post-traumatic stress disorder

Anxiety symptoms that older adults and their family members should watch for include:• Shortness of breath • Increased heart rate • Dizziness

• Difficulty sleeping• Muscle aches and pains

Anxiety is not a normal part of aging and can be treated. The first important step is to have a physical exam. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a treatment option that teaches learning skills to manage anxiety. Skills that can help reduce anxiety include relaxation, changing thoughts, facing fears, learning how to solve problems and learning behaviors to improve sleep.


Davenport Ranch

Chiggers are the larvae, or immature stage, of a certain type of mite. These larval mites climb onto people when they walk through infested areas. The chiggers wander around the body seeking a good site to feed. They prefer to feed in areas where skin is thinnest or where clothing fits tightly, such as the ankles, waist, behind the knees and groin. Chiggers do not burrow into the skin as many people believe, so “smothering” them by painting the bite area with nail polish will not do anything to relieve discomfort. Instead, chiggers inject a digestive enzyme which breaks down skin cells. The chiggers eat the broken down skins cells. Itching and redness is caused by our body’s reaction to the enzymes chiggers inject into us. Itching typically begins 3-6 hours after being bitten, peaks at 24 hours and can last up to two weeks. Try to avoid chigger infested areas, but since this is not always possible, here are some other things to try:• Wear protective clothing- tightly woven items that fit loosely;

including long sleeves & pants; shoes or boots• Tuck pant legs into boots

• Avoid sitting on the ground• Remove & launder clothing ASAP after being in infested areas• Shower/ bathe after being in an infested area; scrub vigorously with a washcloth• Use an insect repellent with DEET or picaridin

To treat chigger infestations around the home try the following:• Keeping lawn trimmed• Maintain vegetation; do not allow weeds to grow up & keep brush cleared• Residual pesticide sprays, usually

pyrethroidsFor chigger bites:

• Do not scratch pustules; opening pustule might lead to infection

• Oral antihistamines or topical anti-itch creams to relieve itching sensationFor more information or help with identification, contact Wizzie Brown, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service
