I've been reading posts on that thread. When you get into holistic medicine, your head starts spinning. So many products, nutty to take them all. I liked the post that essentially said let your kid get dirty.

Anything can happen to anybody. But compromised immune systems seem to be the key is most of the cases, not all.

I'm not going to panic. I'm going to read and think about it. I'm wondering if the thing escaped from a biolab (tinfoil time). Maybe it is a bioweapon. Or just as our systems can build up an immunity to many things by mild exposures & what all, it seems logical that a bacteria wouldn't have to "evolve" much to develop a tolerance to antibiotics, same as humans if used too often and too long.

I don't blame people who have been close to this wanting things sterile. I take reasonable precautions about certain things like bleach after I have handled raw chicken, keep a cool whip container covered with bleach in it I dip my hands into when I think I have contacted something, don't do it much.

I brew a lot of tea, and the tea leaves a nasty residue. Bleach takes care of it. I don't know how I got onto that, but that's why I started keeping the bleach solution. Nutty, I know. I dig in the dirt all the time, sometimes I worry a little about tetanus because it's been awhile more than 10 years, then forget about it and get on with things.

Never had shingles in my life, had chickenpox. I came into contact with a person who has had a serious chronic problem with them. Next thing I know, I have them, luckily mild and they were hellish. I didn't think they were contagious, but it is odd.

I am afraid to mention any of this to my daughter or she will FREAK OUT. So if she gets wind of it, I will have some reassurance for her, first prompt attention.
