The Reno County Health Department has reported seeing an increase in the number of whooping cough cases.  Whooping cough is also known as pertussis and is causes violent and rapid coughing, sometimes resulting in a “whooping” sound when a lack of air in the lungs causes a person to inhale while coughing.   Recently, the health department has received eighteen reported cases of pertussis and is asking everyone to make sure they are vaccinated.
