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.

This presentation will focus on vector-borne pathogens by discussing the vectors and trends with geographic distribution\, temperature effects\, and habitat management since the late 1890s through today and potential future impacts. \nWe are seeing in real time\, the expansion of the geographic range of certain tick and mosquito species. Between climate changes and globalized travel\, the etiology of spread is sometimes clear but can also be difficult to diagnose. As the world has changed and continues to change\, zoonotic diseases remain impactful. \nObjectives: At the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nIdentify historical trends and issues with vector-borne and other zoonotic diseases.\nSummarize One Health concepts and applications to zoonotic pathogens.\nIdentify issues and solutions for vector-borne disease prevention in underserved populations.\n\nIntended audience: Physicians\, veterinarians\, nurses\, public health\, epidemiologists\, general public \nMeet the Presenter: Brent Moore\, DVM\, MS\, MPH\, DACVPM\, Regional Zoonosis Control Veterinarian\, Texas Department of State Health Services\, Public Health Region 4/5 North \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.

According to the World Health Organization\, over half of all human pathogens are zoonotic and have represented nearly all emerging pathogens in the past decade. Farmers and farmworkers have a higher risk of contracting zoonotic diseases because of the frequency of their animal exposure. \nPrevention is the best defense. Understanding how the disease transmission process works\, building a team\, and effectively communicating within that team is essential in preventing the spread of zoonotic disease. Women working in agriculture should be aware of the following special considerations during pregnancy: which animals are common carriers of zoonotic disease\, symptoms of the disease(s)\, prevention measures\, and pregnancy risks. \nIntended Audience:  Supervisor or Managers: This training is intended primarily for health and safety professionals\, including but not limited to owner/operators\, safety officers or specialists\, managers\, supervisors\, safety coordinators\, health safety and environmental interns\, and any person or persons who serve as safety personnel in an agricultural setting. \nProducers: This training is intended primarily for agricultural producers\, including but not limited to farmers\, ranchers\, and any person or persons involved in some combination of raising field crops\, orchards\, vineyards\, horticulture\, or other livestock. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nDefine zoonotic disease and identify various modes of transmission.\nIdentify a minimum of four significant zoonotic diseases affecting the production agricultural population.\nDiscuss warning signs and symptoms of major zoonotic diseases which have adverse effects on reproductive health.\nLocate at least three recommended educational resources for training an agricultural workforce.\n\nThis material was produced under grant number SH-05068-SH8 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

Among them are ticks\, which are small bloodsucking insects. The deer tick (also known as the black-legged tick) is found mainly in the Eastern and upper Midwestern regions of the U.S. It can cause conditions such as Lyme disease – the most common vector-borne disease in the United States.

Pesticide and other chemical exposures\, zoonotic diseases and heavy lifting particularly during childbearing years\, present challenges. \nAt the end of the presentation\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify unique exposures/risks associated with farm tasks.\nIdentify at least four reproductive health and safety issues for women.\nLocate three current evidenced based resources in the field of agricultural health\nDevelop Hazard Map of work exposures.\nSelect appropriate PPE for farm tasks to reduce or eliminate exposures and or risks.\n\nIntended Audience: \nSupervisor or Managers: This training is intended primarily for health and safety professionals including but not limited to owner/operators\, safety officers or specialists\, managers\, supervisors\, safety coordinators\, health safety and environmental interns and any person or persons who serve as safety personnel in an agricultural setting. \nProducers: This training is intended primarily for agricultural producers including but not limited to farmers\, ranchers\, and any person or persons involved in some combination of raising field crops\, orchards\, vineyards\, horticulture\, or other livestock. \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

This is especially true on farms and ranches where inherent farm hazards such as machinery and equipment\, livestock\, and agriculture chemicals are displaced and co-mingle\, putting all emergency response personnel\, farm workers and family members in danger. Floods can heighten the risk of health threats such as mold\, tetanus bacteria\, contaminated well water\, heat illness and high stress. This presentation will highlight basic precautions to prevent possible diseases and injuries during and after flooding. \nObjectives: At the end of the presentation\, attendees will be able to: \n\nIdentify common human health risks faced during a farm flood.\nDiscuss prevention tips and injury prevention for common human health risks.\nIdentify special considerations for working with livestock during a weather event.\nDiscuss steps involved in developing a disaster preparedness plan and how to safety active a response.\nDiscuss appropriate respiratory personal protective equipment needed during flood recovery.\nIdentify warning signs for behavioral and mental health during and after recovery.\n\nIntended Audience: All individuals living/working on farms and ranches affected by flooding. \n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

If you are currently running an agritourism operation or are thinking about making this an addition to your farm\, you should become familiar with the Compendium of Measures to Prevent Disease Associated with Animals in Public Settings. Following the guidelines outlined in the Compendium will help you make your farm as safe as possible for visitors and protect your assets. \nAt the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand what zoonotic diseases are\, how they are transmitted\, and why they are a potential problem for your farm.\nBe aware of the national best practices outlined in the Compendium and available resources to help you follow these guidelines.\nApply these best practices to your farm in order to reduce the risk of illness or injury to visitors.\nUnderstand that the risk will never be zero.\n\n This training has expired.
