March Health Spotlight:
Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Month
March is recognized as Brain Injury Awareness Month and is a great time to review signs, symptoms, causes, and resources for client education in our rural communities. As educators and care providers, we know that workers in production agriculture are at high risk for head injury and brain trauma. We also know that a large percentage of these injuries are never reported to healthcare providers. Like any other injury, a brain injury needs time to heal – a difficult fact for agricultural workers – but if a second fall or injury occurs, the damage can be long term and result in more serious problems.
