Chicken Pox

no prob apples, just thinking of all the nasty little things that have come my way over the years.

You know, this summer is the summer of "rashes" I have had several kids at dif times with dif looking rashes, all got checked and have had dif answers from the docs, one was an allergic reaction another was hives, another allergy or exzema. Just been the year of bumps and rashes. maybe some new viruses, they are often accompanied by a low fever and runny nose. there is always something new floating around every year it seems, and doctors seem to have less and less answers. Good news is they are not spreading, are they not itchy? chic pocks are soooo itchy. have you tried benedryl (sp)? it really could be a bug bite (spider). every once in a while I wake up with a couple bites on my legs that were'nt there the night before. The weather IS getting colder, the bugs are trying to come inside. just keep an eye on it, and all you can do is let the parents know, and let them decide. that's exactly what I would do. if it spreads, go to the doc, could be allergy or virus.

I have a little guy with sand flee bites- they look like chicken pox but was hanging out in the sand and got bitten.
Just be on the safe side and get them checked out if your concerned.
