I was thinking...I don't know almost nothing of PA...of course I am

really scared of it...and one day my son will get it....and it has

something to do with water...that is my question: Is it ok to Cf

kids to have tub toys? My son loves them, but it seems like it is

probably always wet inside...should I stop giving it to him to play

with?? Do I have any reason to be worried about all wet things in

the universe??

for sure it is a stupid question...sorry....but I need to know...

love

My favorite subject! :-) Patti has tub toys that will dry/drain easily, or

that can't get wet inside. Her duckies are all the sealed kind so that they

can't get water in them to grow mildew and mold. Her other favorite toys are a

plastic mug, and some plastic nesting boxes, and last time's shampoo bottle.

The toys and cup are all easily cleanable with a soap scum remover and a bleach

cleaner. There's a new shampoo bottle every week so they're tossable. It's

also see through so I can check it for nasties.

Wet things that sit around moist and therefore allow time for bacteria such

as PA to grow ARE a concern ... particularly when that moisture may be

aerosolized in some form (such as squeezing the old water out of a bath toy

in a spray or mist form).

Scientists have not yet confirmed the who, why, and where of people with CF

aquiring PA from the environment and so, until they do, it is probably

better to be on the safe side whenever it is reasonable to do so.

In our family, we did get rid of all bath toys that could sit with water in

them (rubber duckies) but found lots of fun toys for the bath (with no holes

or seams that could leak) that easily dried off afterwards. One of the

favourite bath toys was the big syringe that was used at clinic for

suctioning mucous for a sputum sample (before my son was old enough to cough

up a sample). The nurse always gave it to him as a reward after the

procedure and it came apart easily to be dried out after being used for

water spurts in the tub. Everyone now talks about throat swabs for the young

children so I don't know if they still use the giant syringes.

Hi Val,

Zach's favorite tub toys are Mega Bloks. They are bigger than Legos

and can dry out completely.
