Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 I had to do this with my twins when they were infants. We also used the product (Ocean), which is great. Unfortunately, the pharmacy was out of it one time and the pharmacist recommended using a product called " AYR " nasal spray. I have since discovered the AYR contains the dreaded " thimerosal " . I believe it's still on the market today. So, not only did our doctor shoot this crap straight into my kids veins, I inadvertently squirted it up his nose. God, how these things break my heart knowing what I know now. Can you tell I'm having one of those days?..........today I hate the word autism and wish I'd never heard of it. Sorry, having my on little pity-party. Elsie (in Texas - who will be much better tomorrow!!)
