[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 401761, member: 3493"] My oldest son has PANDAS (diagnosed at NIMH) and we had his tonsils out to reduce strep. It did greatly reduce the amount of strep he got but it did not completely eradicate it. I would be annoyed at this mom unless the kid was on antibiotics. Witzend - I am turning 52 this year. My mom has told me that when I was a toddler and had German measles, many of her friends and neighbors who had teenaged daughters who had never had the German measles were sent over to play with me so they could get it before they got married and pregnant. In the early 60's, people knew that GM could cause birth defects if a woman had it while pregnant and since there was no vaccine yet and abortion was not easily available, parents deliberately tried to get their kids exposed before they were child-bearing. I apparently infected 13 young women myself. With regard to chicken pox, some people don't believe in the vaccine and would possibly rather their kids have the disease. My oldest son had chicken pox so badly I was afraid he'd die - he had pox on the inside of his not quite yet toilet trained 2 year old penis; I cried cleaning him up. My daughter caught it from him because she was exposed before he showed symptoms. difficult child and easy child had the shot, which wasn't yet available when the 2 oldest were sick, and have recently had boosters (they are 14 and 16 now). The youngest got chicken pox when he was too young (9 months) to have the shot or he'd have had it because I could not stand to see another child suffer the way my oldest did. Don't know anything about prostate or testicular and the vasectomy link, but it could be since women who've had hysterectomies can't get ovarian cancer. [/QUOTE]
