We were sick pretty constantly for some years when the kids started school. BTW,I definitely could be wrong, but I think there was something really bad about being exposed while pregnant? If I remembered correctly then your timing is actually pretty good.<br />Aunt Michelle Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-18410002142234363132016-09-17T01:24:49.138-04:002016-09-17T01:24:49.138-04:00I've heard of it, but never heard of anyone ac...I've heard of it, but never heard of anyone actually getting it.

...No, I've never heard of it or seen it either.<br /><br />By the way, if either you or your husband get it, you can use apple cider vinegar, lavender oil, or oil of oregano on the blisters. The reason not to use these anti-virals (they're anti-fungals too) on the children is that it might sting a little. Organic coconut oil would be best for the kids.<br /><br />By the way, oil of oregano (you can get it at Fresh Thyme. Expensive but very worth it. Look for it on sale.) is one of the best ever cold/sinus infection fighters I have ever used. It's potent - just a drop or two in juice, a few times a day when you're first feeling a cold, raspy throat, or symptoms of upper respiratory illness coming on will usually wipe it out before it even gets started. It's not for kids because it is has a "burning" feeling in the mouth and throat, but an adult can tolerate it.<br /><br />I also just found out that apple cider vinegar (I usually buy the organic) diluted by 1/2 with aloe vera juice or even water, works to kill ringworm on yourself or a pet. For a dog or cat dog you can put it in a spray bottle and spray it on the affected areas if they have a lot of area affected, or just dab it on with cotton for smaller areas. This works on mange too. <br /><br />Hope all are feeling better soon.<br />God bless. ~ BonnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-73476183577533269172016-09-16T12:58:53.933-04:002016-09-16T12:58:53.933-04:00Oh, it's a common ailment.

It's common to get due to poor handwashing/hygiene which is normal around very small children who struggle to handwash. Just keep yourself really well washed up and the kids away from Tessie and Tessie well washed and she shouldn't come down with it. The good thing is once you've had it you can't get it again.Deltaflutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489950329698009256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-73434365844561857312016-09-16T09:43:41.056-04:002016-09-16T09:43:41.056-04:00Definitely hope you are okay yourself.

Preschooler had a bunch of spots and a couple whiny days. I was covered in spots and had a low grade fever. Their poor dad was absolutely ill and had sores everywhere, even in his mouth. He took off two days from work, which had never happened before as he was a surgeon. <br /><br />By the end, all of the top layer of my skin peeled or flaked off. My feet were like new baby skin. It hits so much harder the older you are. Don't want to scare you, but thought I'd share my experience.Ashleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-33927739404760120852016-09-16T08:33:33.433-04:002016-09-16T08:33:33.433-04:00Nope, never heard of it growing up in Ontario.

We also didn't have rampant lice outbreaks in school either (not like today). I never had a lice head check! Now they seem to happen all the time at school.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015659430842427691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-24104838545018679852016-09-16T03:31:19.435-04:002016-09-16T03:31:19.435-04:00We get it in the UK.

Very soothing and will help kill the virus on the skin. Also, peppermint oil in a tea (don't know if the kids would like this or drink it) would help with mouth blisters. They could also eat the coconut oil (maybe 1/2 teaspoon) right off a spoon. If it stays in their mouths a little it will help kill the virus. You could also use these in a bath for soothing the sores.<br /><br />I guess it goes away by itself, but it's got to be misery when they have it. <br /><br />God bless. ~ BonnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
