I totally agree with you. Especially about your son. I have a 2 year old and I would be furious if his teacher at daycare didn't tell me someone was sick. I would tell this person who keeps your son that you would like to be informed beforehand if anyone in the house is sick from now on. That's not an unreasonable request. I know how kids that age can be, and yes he does need to be exposed to things to develop his immune system, but children as young as yours can become severely more ill than an adult from the same bacteria/viruses. A 4.5 month old can become dehydrated quickly due to v* or d*.


By the way, I think you have an awesome job!!!!! I love immunology, epidemiology, and all other things related to microbiology. Wish there was a university near me that offered those things..I've settled for pharmacy school.
