To be absolutely fucking fuming that DS2 has been sent home from nursery with impetigo?

[AwfulCuntForTheButter]

The staff were incredibly cavalier about it and said 'it's been going about for a few days'.

They're quick enough to call whenever they want money, but they couldn't let parents know about something highly contagious?

Worms? WTF?

Well if it were me and I knew it was impetigo I would have kept mine off. Most other things I wouldn't have. Genuinely, it never came up at my kids nursery (all 3 of them) so surely it's not that hard to contain?

Anyway it's all academic and we're just arguing the toss between us as op hasn't been back

Yeah sorry India that was probably down to me. Soz.

They get WORMS?!

Thread worms. My older 2 have never had them. dd2...different story.
Bloody impetigo did the rounds for months here. Not a lot to be done really.

14 yr old DS came home from scout camp with impetigo !

Well that's what we're arguing about India ! My 3 DIDN'T get worms at nursery. But then my son DID get them at school. 4 times. And then he gave them to me. I remember it well as was heavily pregnant at the time so had gone to bed early, felt "something" in the arse region - and LO it was an inch long worm. It was 9 years ago now but I still remember with crystal clear clarity. Unfortunately.

They do, India - sorry.

NHS threadworm information.

And the ones that crawl out of your arse to lay eggs on a night are a lot bigger than a piece of cotton.

Or maybe that's just me amplifying my horror... because the way I remember it, it was practically an anaconda

are the toys etc in this nursery being kept clean on a rotation basis, as impetigo will be passed from toys and i cannot figure how books wd be sanitised . They probably need to be discarded.

This is disgusting. Why did no one tell me this before I had a child?!

Another "fucking fuming" thread.

The amount of "fucking fuming" that goes on on MN is amazing.

Not all children get them rain. My youngest dd has never had them. It's just if they bite their nails or cuticles or go to shit nursery.

Topseyt, it's mn for not very happy I think unless there are loads of mnetters with serious anger issues.

DH=husband
TTC=trying to conceive
Fucking fuming=a little inconvenienced

a shit nursery that should say

india like I say my older two have never had then and dd2 didn't get them til she started school. I was horrified the first time, these days I'm much more blasé about it.

mrsgrady dd2 doesn't bite nails, or go to a shit school. Its just one of those things.

And none of mine got impetigo until last year so 11, 9 and 8 years old. It started with a cut on ds's leg that was tiny and a couple of days later had spread all down his leg. By the time I saw it it was spread to all of us, me included. And as soon as one was clear another got it. I boil washed and sterilised everything in sight but once its started it can be really hard to contain.

great well perhaps your children forgot to wash their hands before they ate. Who knows. The way worms are spread is through the eggs being ingested. So as long as a child washes their hands before eating and after the toilet, and never puts their fingers in their mouth they won't get them. Problem is that kids tend to put their fingers on their mouths.

Yes, I know, she might well have. My point is, that its not a given that a child wont get worms if they don't nail bite or go to a shit nursery. My eldest IS a nail biter and never had them.

Sorry I just read that back and I sound incredibly rude. Was really not meant that way at all.

I know. My original comment was more for the worried poster who hadn't heard of worms. And was slightly tongue in cheek but obviously that doesn't come across well on a forum

fair enough . Bastard worms.

Yeah they are bastards. Really hoping my days of the bastarding twats are finally over
