Guest guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 I would like to know more about the methods that the danes use. I was under the incorrect assumption that they did lots of IV meds. I also assumed Zach was infected by something in the environment. If cross infection between patients is the key, they why are we all going to the same clinics on the same days?? I would hate to think that Zach is infecting a child without PA because they were playing with the same toy. Please direct me to the best place to research this. Thanks!
