Health Matters contributed by Jackie Martin Clermont MPHS Health Promotions Officer Q fever What is Q fever? Q fever is a highly infectious disease that is carried by animals and passed to humans. People who work with livestock are at highest risk of the disease and it is very prevalent in Queensland.

‘Query fever’ – usually shortened to ‘Q fever’, was named

by Dr John Derrick, who described an outbreak of a febrile illness that occurred among abattoir workers in 1935. He gave the blood from some of his patients to two microbiologists; Sir MacFarlane-Burnet and Dr R. Freeman, who injected it into guinea pigs and isolated the organism responsible – a bacterium belonging to the rickettsial family now called Coxiella burnetii.

Transmission Coxiella burnetii is highly infectious and very hardy – it can survive in dust or soil for a year or more, and can travel in dust for long distances in the wind. Animals that breathe the dust become infected – cattle, sheep, goats (particularly feral or wild goats), as well as domestic dogs, cats and native animals including kangaroos and bandicoots.

These animals are carriers of the disease. They don’t show any symptoms themselves but the bacteria multiplies in the placental tissues, amniotic fluids and membranes, and in their mammary glands. When they give birth they shed the bacteria. They also shed it through their faeces, urine, milk, and blood.

Humans can pick up the bacteria when they come into contact with these materials (or something contaminated by them like straw, wool, hair or hides). Humans may breathe in the bacteria in droplets, dust or dried matter in the air, or ingest it via unpasteurised milk from an infected animal.

Those most at risk are abattoir workers (and their subcontractors), sheep shearers, and farmers. But anyone who comes into contact with animals can be infected, including mechanics, farm and station hands, vets, shearers and wool classers, livestock buyers and auctioneers, and pelt and hide processors.

Symptoms Q fever has an incubation period of one to four weeks – in other words, it can take up to four weeks between exposure and the first symptoms.

Usually it starts with a sudden high fever with muscle pain and severe headache symptoms – similar to influenza.

There may be chills, sweats, cough, muscle pains and fatigue. These symptoms usually last seven to 10 days and the person recovers completely – though recovery may take longer in older people.

Some people get complications. Between five and 15 per cent of patients develop a post-Q fever chronic fatigue syndrome that can last many months. Sometimes Q fever can cause a form of pneumonia or hepatitis.

After a person recovers from Q Fever, they are usually immune for life and can’t get infected again. Some people are exposed to Q fever and don’t develop the disease (about half who are infected by it), and these people get immunity to it as well.

Treatment The diagnosis of Q fever is made by taking a blood test.

Fortunately Q fever responds rapidly to treatment with antibiotics.

Workplaces should adopt safe work practices: they should provide good ventilation, implement good hygiene practices such as safe handling and disposal of animals, carcasses, offal and hides, and safe handling of pregnant animals.

Placental and other birth material should be burnt or buried.

Vaccination For people working with infected animals, it’s almost impossible to avoid exposure. So the focus is on preventing the disease. Fortunately there’s an effective vaccine available, called Q-vax, made from dead C. burnetii.. It confers protection within two weeks of being given and protection is long lasting.

Vaccination is recommended for everyone likely to come into contact with infected animals.

Please contact your local GP or contact the GP after hours hotline on 1800 022 222 if you have any concerns about Q fever.

And remember…. Protect, Prevent, Live Well

Forum Communicators - Clermont Branch contributed by Andrea Moller

Missing the mental stimulation of teaching my children school, I decided to join Forum Communicators, Clermont Branch.

Like many activities in small towns, there were some familiar faces at these meetings.

Forum Communicators is an organisation to increase your self esteem and gain confidence through learning specific skills; effective communication; public speaking; club administration; chairing meetings; leadership; speaking and presenting in public; and the duties of office bearers.

Well, a year down the track, my turn to Chair Forum arrived. Now here I must state, I have been on plenty of local community organisations but rarely have I taken the opportunity to become Chairman or President of an association. More of a worker bee than a queen bee, am I. Whilst attending meetings through the years, I have often thought meetings should be run more effectively. Here was my chance to do things ‘my way’. With much trepidation and prior planning of the agenda, including many changes and additions, the meeting started on time. A pet hate of mine is meetings starting late.

The Clermont Hospital Auxiliary (CHA) is a not for profit community organisation which aims to support the staff and patients of the Clermont Hospital in providing quality care to our community.

The Auxiliary has been working within our local community for over 35 years. The current voluntary committee and members strive to raise funds to enable the improvement of health services for the residents of our community.

Last year, the CHA was very kindly gifted housing by the Rio Tinto / Blair Athol Joint Venture. These houses are designed to provide affordable accommodation for both hospital workers and local community members.

Once we moved through the basic meeting procedures, we listened to a riveting introductory speech by a new member and this was then followed by 2 very entertaining speeches by long standing members.

I can proudly say the meeting finished 2 minutes early.

Another pet hate is meetings continuing on endlessly. We allocate an hour for Forum meetings.

At my next opportunity to Chair a meeting, I aim to do a better job of keeping control of the discussion during the meeting but, hey, I survived. I would even venture to say that I enjoyed myself. I look forward to chairing my next meeting.

Why don’t you join us and experience for yourself the satisfaction of self development and mental stimulation that I have enjoyed.

Forum Communicators, Clermont Branch meet at the Commercial Hotel Dining Room every 3 weeks during school term.

Find us on Facebook or at for our next meeting as a guest on Thursday, September 3, 12 noon sharp.

To enable the continued success and sustainability of the CHA, we are seeking more members to assist in achieving the goals of the organisation.

The CHA is a relaxed, friendly group who meet over lunch every second month.

Due to limited numbers at our last meeting, we will now be holding our Annual General Meeting on Monday August 31 at the Commercial Hotel dining room from 12 midday.

We encourage and welcome all interested parties to attend.

For more information, please contact President Carrie Parsons on 49864028.

CLASS DESCRIPTION Gut and Butt Blast is a target class that focuses on strengthening and toning the nine core divisions of the abdominal plane.

While simultaneously blasting the three muscles of the buttocks, hamstrings and quadriceps. This will increase fat metabolism at rest and help slim and tone those problematic areas.

Although not targeted, general whole body conditioning applies and while challenging, is more than suitable for any fitness level.

Workout Of the Day (WOD) This is a board based program, working TO the principles of H.I.I.T where you can come in and complete the workout in your own time.

What is H.I.I.T? High-intensity interval training is a training technique, which commands full effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise followed by active recovery periods. This form of exercise uses power and cardio, keeping the heart rate high and metabolizing fat at the same time.

Open Gym This is your opportunity to use the Gym facilities, there will be a basic weights program and WOD on offer for your utilisation, or you could just be creative and do your own training.

Lets Lift This program has been designed to target the eight large muscle groups in a 45 minute whole body workout. This is achieved through the use of barbell and Dumbbell weights. This class is suitable for every fitness level.

Mad GRIT This is a 30min program incorporating core, strength and cardio based exercise, ideal for total fitness development.

THUMP Boxing is a moderate to high intensity cardio boxing class. This class is specifically effective in defining the body’s musculature, while improving balance, flexibility, and co-ordination. The cardio component uses the body’s energy systems and improves your ability to use oxygen, helping you to work harder for longer and burn fat in the process.
