Muscle weakness can progress to paralysis, loss of the ability to move the muscles. Paralysis symptoms can occur anywhere in the body. They may occur on both sides of the body (bilateral) or one side (unilateral). Paralysis occurring in the lower half of the body, below the midsection, is known as paraplegia.

Forestry officials say its OK to burn in early spring, but encourage residents to get it done before the snow is gone; fire season comes when the dry grass is exposed. * The wood in the fire must be dry and free from dirt for efficient burning and to minimize smoke production. * Attend the fire until it is out. Do not expect burn piles to go out on their own and it is illegal to leave a fire burning. * Snow pack qualifies as a firebreak, but you must clear the ground around the fire to dirt as the snow melts. * Call in to the notification phone number listed on your permit before you burn. * Burning permits are required by the Division of Forestry from April through August and all year long for the cities of Kenai, Homer, and Seward.
