Re: Diagnosis Impetigo...what do I do about books

[Guest guest]

Theoretically, people could get impetigo if it is on her hands. Not the

mouth - for somereason, germs in the mouth on paper seem to die - sort of

like germs on wooden cutting boards in the kitchen. MAybe a chemical

reaction????

Elie has terribly dry skin. He only bathes on alternate days. We use foam

bath I get from the Dollar Tree which has cucumber, melon and jojoba and a

little aloe. He uses no soap. we use coal tar slaicylate shampoo for his

psoriasis on his scalp. These measures have helped alot from when he had

constant tiny fissures in his wrinkles and cracks on his feet with various

fungii. No fungii, no odor, no impetigo and his psoriasis is down to one

tiny area the size of a pinky nail.

DH just remoined me that at one point we had panels over shelves which we

attached at both ends with hook and eye fasteners with slides on them so

Elie couldn't get at the shleves. We attached no hinges so that when we

didn't need them anymore, all I had to do was fill the little tiny holes on

the shelf where the eye hook was. The hardest part was finding the wood at

a price we could afford. Then we let Elie " decorate it " . Quite zoo like

for a few years, but my books and " treasures " were safe.

nathan does too, and this bitter iowa weather doesn't help much. during the

winter he only bathes every other night. And we get some Rx lotion that really

helps, and use special shampoo for his scalp. If his skin is really bad, i

just put some baby oil in his bath water. shawna
