SUMMARY:Webinar: Environmental Health Literacy and Agricultural Exposures: Where Ag Safety and Cancer Prevention Meet
DESCRIPTION:Summary: There is growing concern over the role of environmental and occupational exposures in rising cancer rates in Iowa and across the country. People employed in agriculture and related industries in rural areas may face unique environmental and occupational exposures\, besides genetic and behavioral risk factors\, that can cause cancer. \nRural barriers to accessing healthcare may compound the effects of environmental and occupational exposures in these settings. Understandable and actionable risk communications can help address existing rural cancer disparities. In this presentation\, the presenters will provide tips on how to integrate evidence-based environmental health and cancer prevention information into rural and agricultural work. Participants will learn how to better communicate risk\, answer questions\, and strengthen environmental health literacy in their communities. \nIntended Audience: Individuals with an interest in rural and agricultural communities are encouraged to attend. \nObjectives: At the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to…​ \n\nDefine environmental health literacy and its role in community health promotion and advocacy.\nIdentify evidence-based resources on environmental factors that can increase cancer risk in an agricultural setting and apply them to your own health and safety education materials.\nFind the overlap in goals and communication strategies between cancer control and agricultural safety and health professionals.\n\nMeet the Presenters: \n– Caroline Powell\, BA\, MS\, Candidate University of Iowa\, Environmental Outreach Coordinator\, Iowa Cancer Consortium \n– Audrey E. Tran Lam\, MPH\, Environmental Health Program Director\, UNI Center for Energy and Environmental Education \n\n Register  \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Tick Bites\, Meat Allergy\, and Caring for Livestock: What Farmers and Ranchers Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS)  is an emerging tick-borne allergy to alpha-gal\, a sugar found in mammals and products derived from them. These products include food\, drugs\, personal care and other products. Up to half a million Americans are estimated to be affected by AGS; most live in high-prevalence states in the South\, Midwest\, and East Coast. \nFarmers are at higher risk of tick bites and developing AGS. For farmers\, AGS is not just a food allergy\, it’s an occupational allergy. Reactions fluids\, waste\, and dander from livestock can make caring for them difficult. In this seminar\, we will provide an introduction to AGS\, share tips on avoiding it\, and hear from farmers and ranchers about the challenges of farming with AGS and how to manage them. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will understand… \n\nThe basics of alpha-gal syndrome\nWhen and how to seek a diagnosis\nHow farmers cope with AGS\nNext-level tick bite avoidance tips\n\nIntended Audience: Farmers and ranchers\, hunters\, park rangers\, foresters\, surveyors\, line workers\, gardeners\, hikers\, and other people with outdoor jobs and hobbies. \nMeet the Presenters: \n–Sharon Forsyth\, Executive Director\, Alpha-gal Alliance \n–Candice Matthis\, Co-founder\, Alpha-gal Foundation \n–Debbie Nichols\, Co-founder\, Alpha-gal Foundation \n  \n Register  \n  \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.
