Aww, I can't even imagine how you feel. Your poor kids. I haven't experienced this at all, but I sure do feel sorry for you and your little ones. I hope they feel better soon!

Shocked whoa. Maybe .i'm sheltered, but I didn't think scarlet fever even really existed anymore. Do they offer a vaccine against it?

Your poor little ones! I hope they feel better soon. Sad

I've never heard of a vaccine for scarlet fever. Confused But I honestly didn't think people got it anymore. Whoa, that's crazy. I just googled it. Anyone can get it from having strep but not everyone is sensitive to it. I've had strep a million times and never got it. I'm sorry, girl! I hope your babas feel better soon.

Scarlet Fever
You think you feel bad? My sister thought her 4 year old was being a wuss about his sore throat...he ended up getting Scarlet Fever. Needless to say, she felt awful...however, I too had no idea it was even around anymore (like Yellow Fever, etc.), but obviously it can still pop up. She won't be ignoring his sore throats in the future...
