I think MOST people from doctors, to school nurses to parents & society in general DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SV* SPREAD. That's obvious just from reading the site a couple of times. I think the schools think they are doing the best they can just by using wipes & hand sanitizers. How can we educate them on how SV* spread?


"I'm not a doctor, but I play one on tv . . ." (Some of you may not be old enough to remember that reference). Maybe I'll try, "I'm not a microbiologist, but I am an emet" [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]


In reference to letting your kids get sick, it's natural . . . I don't have a problem with the colds, etc . . . it's just the sv* and it you can't build lasting immunity to those. That's why I think it's important for others to know antibacterial soap, Purell and handwipes don't work completely.
