@billyli There is evidence that time spent in a daycare or school environment isn’t beneficial to most kids until the age of 3 (or even later for some kids). Up until that age, kids don’t need to socialize. They don’t really play together until they’re older. They do need a close and nurturing...

@iowakid8401 My little brother had it when he was 3 (I was 6). I remember my mom being so afraid. She’s even a nurse, but didn’t realize he had strep before it became scarlet fever. She thought it was just a bad cold.

@orthodoxjay1 Untreated strep throat can lead to scarlet fever. Most people don’t get scarlet fever anymore because antibiotics are used to treat strep throat before it turns into scarlet fever. Edit: left untreated, scarlet fever can be deadly. It’s much easier to treat strep throat with a...

@sweetiicake Yes. He had to wait a certain number of weeks( I can’t remember how many….I think 6 or 8) and then he could get tested. I was on a birth control implant, so he waited around 4 months. He did the test and the said he was all set. They told him he only needed a second test if the...

@sweetiicake My husband got a vasectomy last year and only had to do one test…

@samuelcox003 Mine did too. After all the skin peeled off my hands and feet, I still had some tingling where the biggest spots were. Then I lost my nails. My husband got it as a kid and didn’t get sick at all.

@samuelcox003 I’m a teacher, so I had heard of it, but I didn’t think too much of it. Kids get sick all the time. I wasn’t prepared for how awful it was.

@shstlws01 I feel like HFM was something I wasn’t prepared for as a parent. My kids and I had it last summer. My kids had a mild/moderate case, but I had a really severe one. It was the worst I’ve ever felt, including when I had COVID, the flu and a c-section.

@jwd Thank you, this has me feeling better. My son is 3.5 and has just been flat out refusing to use the potty at all. We have tried lots of different methods, but he just doesn’t want to. I’ve backed off, and have just kind of been letting it go for a while. I just don’t understand how I’m...
