[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 401759, member: 1233"] This woman is an idiot. Send/take the kid home and before he can come over again his mother must tell you if he is under watch for strep or other infections. If you don't speak to her and get an honest answer to this question then don't let the kid in the house. NOT because you are mad at the kid but because you have every right to protect your home from someone who brings infections in with-o even asking you if it is okay or if anyone else in the house might get the infection. Just because one person has had tonsils out doesn't mean that the rest of you have! Even if her idiotic idea that tonsil removal means you are immune to bacteria WAS true, it would still not be a responsible adult who would send a child at risk of having strep to your house to play with-o warning you. What if you had an elderly relative or friend or someone with a bad immune system visit while her kid was at your house! by the way, our docs always say that you are contagious from about a week before you start seeing symptoms until you have been on antibiotics for a full 24 hours. So the kid might not have symptoms but might be contagious and if they are "watching" him then he needs to stay HOME. It could be an excuse to leave because you won't let them play longer, so I would ask his mom. I would also make sure she realizes that strep is a bacteria that can infect many parts of the body, not just the tonsils! Janet, tell the boy that his operation had NOTHING to do with cancer prevention unless they REMOVED either his prostate or nuts. If he has them he needs to be checking them regularly (esp the self test for testicular cancer). [/QUOTE]
