And for hepatitis prevention along with other health concerns, every child should be cleaned.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351890505800009950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328214691677556425.post-41410592823591942032009-11-13T10:51:52.148-05:002009-11-13T10:51:52.148-05:00This may be too much information, but I think for ...This may be too much information, but I think for safety reasons the school has to send the clothes home as is. They are not allowed to wash clothing with solid waste unless they have installed special high heat washers that will kill all the potential germs/bacteria involved. Their options are to a)send it all home or b)throw the soiled clothes away in a special bag. <br /><br />I could be wrong, but I want to say I remember a teacher training based on this (it happens even at the middle school level). Probably a hepatitis/hiv training, which all teachers were required to attend.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15476636154469326229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328214691677556425.post-7488866882447811842009-11-09T21:05:42.738-05:002009-11-09T21:05:42.738-05:00Too funny - our leaves seem to have fleas - probab...Too funny - our leaves seem to have fleas - probably from the cat. Alex had a lot of bites, but no ticks! BTW, I loved your post from Friday, but I haven't commented on it yet. You are such a great writer! You should try to publish that one!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351890505800009950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328214691677556425.post-64771612472537743152009-11-09T20:45:54.553-05:002009-11-09T20:45:54.553-05:00The Leaves...ahhhh the dilemma. In Connecticut we...The Leaves...ahhhh the dilemma. In Connecticut we have deer ticks that carry Lyme's Disease which is a very serious thing. And where do deer ticks love to hang out--in dead leaves, of course. So on the one hand, I remember jumping in the leaves as a child with such fond memories, and I want my kids to have the same fun experience. On the other hand, there's Lyme's Disease and now...cat poop--eeeooww! I gotta say, I didn't even know about that!! <br /><br />In the end, the fun side won out. That and the fact that it is almost impossible to keep three kids away from an enormous pile of leaves. It's like a honing beacon calling to them. They cannot resist it. <br /><br />We just have nightly tick checks!! Have you ever heard that song, "I wanna check you for ticks"? Funny!!Karlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704404677897329220noreply@blogger.com
