It was so, so gross, but no one in the house (DH, me, or 18 month old) got it, and one of us took the meds prophylacticly (we were offered it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pinworms-in-class#post-2908130 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 14:38:04 +0000 Grace 2908130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had pinworms at daycare and it only went through two kids. It can’t be that contagious. I talked to the dad of one of the kids and he said it wasn’t a big deal. Kid got a super itchy butt at night and wouldn’t sleep. Treatment was 1 pill for the whole family and it went away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pinworms-in-class#post-2908110 Fri, 10 Jan 2020 20:18:10 +0000 hitchhiker 2908110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChitownRo: I have no idea. I don't think pinworms has ever been something that got reported home. And I never would have thought to report it to the school, since it's harmless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pinworms-in-class#post-2908108 Fri, 10 Jan 2020 19:57:37 +0000 ChitownRo 2908108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hitchhiker: @pinkb: thanks so much for your replies. When your kids (potentially) had it, did lots of other kids in their class have it too? Just wondering how contagious it is<br /> (The concept of pinworms just freaks me out, way more than a normal virus, even if they don’t really harm you) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pinworms-in-class#post-2908040 Fri, 10 Jan 2020 09:52:29 +0000 pinkb 2908040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with above. They suspected DD had it and we did the OTC meds and all good. No issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pinworms-in-class#post-2908030 Fri, 10 Jan 2020 08:23:51 +0000 hitchhiker 2908030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wouldn't worry too much about it. They suspected my daughter had it at one point (never totally confirmed) but we just gave her an OTC medication. Issue (itching) resolved itself very quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pinworms-in-class#post-2908011 Thu, 09 Jan 2020 21:39:51 +0000 ChitownRo 2908011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg got an email today that a kid in my DS’s kindergarten class has pinworms. I’m sure my son was exposed yesterday and then touched like everything in the house<br /> I’m freaking out and started washing everything on hot in the washer but now upon reading, has a 2 month incubation period! Ugh.<br /> Give me HFM any day over pinworms. </p> <p>Any advice?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare/page/2#post-1953300 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:38:02 +0000 hellobeeboston 1953300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ballerinabee: that is awesome!! And so true!</p> <p>@.twist.: sorry to hear this!! Our first winter was really bad too. Me, dh and LO were all sick for like 2 months straight :( I really do think his immune system is tougher now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare/page/2#post-1953268 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:22:58 +0000 .twist. 1953268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: mmm yes so tasty. :D </p> <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Thanks! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare/page/2#post-1953206 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 16:50:57 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1953206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, we were one big sick lovefest the first year the kids were in daycare!!

I always find that Pho makes me feel amazing when I'm sick. And hooray for feeling less poopy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare#post-1953158 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 16:27:25 +0000 ballerinabee 1953158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: :happy: glad you're feeling better! And vent / complain any time. We all need to, and lord knows my DH isn't a good person to vent to. He just wants to "fix" everything, when usually all I need is to say it and get it out of my system. </p> <p>@mediagirl: I feel your pain! DH acts like he's dying whether he's actually sick or not. </p> <p>Boys. Feh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare#post-1952991 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 15:24:39 +0000 .twist. 1952991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: I love emergen-c. love love. Need to buy more. </p> <p>JUST in case ya'll were wondering how I'm doing now, because I know you all care so much about my pouty ass. I am feeling much better. I had Vietnamese food for lunch, which was fantastic and I took some cold drugs (thank you buckley's) and I am feeling happy now. Drama over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare#post-1952752 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 14:31:28 +0000 jedeve 1952752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year LO was in daycare and sick constantly. Our parents kept being like, "well now that they aren't in daycare they won't get sick!"</p> <p>But no. We are at home, and so super sick. Going to eat more soup and drink emergenc... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare#post-1952642 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:59:03 +0000 .twist. 1952642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: hahaha omg. I lol'd. You know, when I get sick, I SOUND sick, my voice is different, I'm constantly sniffing and blowing my nose, I become a mouth breather. DH says he's "congested" and I seriously want to start staring up his nose to see if it really is because he never sounds congested. He's such a liar. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare#post-1952633 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:56:36 +0000 mediagirl 1952633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ballerinabee: @.twist.: I swear, my husband starts acting like this the moment he sneezes. The sneeze could be from a piece of dust in his nose but NO...it's that he's getting the crud and will now be out of commission for 4-7 days, depending on severity. And complain about it...and moan about it....and be miserable....And remember, he's not even really sick yet... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare#post-1952623 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:53:59 +0000 sunny 1952623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sick too.

I'm pretty sure illness is an unavoidable part of daycare. I'm just not looking forward to the never ending cycle of sickness. DS had a month long cold (thanks to many ladies pawing him at a baby shower) which DH caught is an still getting over... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare#post-1952487 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:17:38 +0000 Lindsay05 1952487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Experiencing the same thing here :( there is snot from one end of the house to the other.

DD is going to daycare at 3 months, soo not looking forward to this aspect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare#post-1952424 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 12:57:46 +0000 .twist. 1952424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: oh no!

I saw a really funny sarcastic ecard about sick husbands, so I think it's appropriate here (this is totally my DH, and yet he has no sympathy / patience when I'm sick!): </p> [attach=5404/14/nfcmps.420x294.Ecolda.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare#post-1952360 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 12:33:21 +0000 catlady 1952360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, definitely! Last winter (first year at daycare) was so brutal. I'm hoping this year won't be so bad, although apparently there is already a stomach virus going around (crossing fingers we don't get it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare#post-1952349 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 12:30:21 +0000 .twist. 1952349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I don't even know how you survive with all 3 while sick, totally super mom! :D </p> <p>@ballerinabee: Hugs and sympathy right back! So rough. lol My husband is such a jerk too. He will whine one morning about feeling sick and by that night he feels fine! Me? 2 weeks. LOL. J.E.R.K. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare#post-1952288 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 12:13:07 +0000 ballerinabee 1952288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: dude, I feel your pain. SO much pain. LO doesn't even necessarily get sick, but I do!! He had a bug a few weeks ago that laid him low for 5 days. Me? 2.5 weeks!! And now I'm getting another upper resp bug. BOO. </p> <p>Germy little buggers! Good thing they're so cute :happy:<br /> I can't wait until my immune system catches up with these germy kiddos so I can get back to feeling human.</p> <p>Hugs &amp; sympathy from my little corner over here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-am-sick-and-i-blame-daycare#post-1952245 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 11:58:24 +0000 HLK208 1952245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uggggh!
