[quote=Anonymous]You know, sometimes kids are contagious before you realize they're sick. My sister came to Thanksgiving dinner with my niece and nephew and they seemed fine and all the kids played together. They seemed 100% normal. At 2 am my nephew started throwing up and at 5 am my niece started. Sister packed them in the car and left on a 4-hour drive home with barfing kids, bless her, but everyone was exposed and it was hardly intentional. Fortunately only two other kids (of five) got sick. But any of them could have. Strep is contagious and the symptoms are not always obvious. My 5 year old has had it 3 times and only once did we actually suspect it was strep. Twice he had no fever or other symptoms -- it was diagnosed because we happened to be at the doctor for something else. Illness happens. It sucks to be sick, especially at the holidays, but unless you see a parent tell their kid "now I know you're sick, don't vomit over Johnny" and walk out, you can't say for sure where anything was picked up. It happens to all of us and you just have to deal. [/quote]
