[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Q: How vigilant should I be?

I understand not sharing towels.

Must I wash his clothing separately?

What if he sits on the couch? Can someone else catch it from sitting there?

Ditto for the toilet.

Should I keep the bumps covered with band aids? [/quote]

PP here with the 6 & 8 year olds.  We tried to keep them in clothes (including biker shorts under dresses) that covered the bumps so we didn't have to worry about their or our hands accidentally touching it. I wouldn't think someone could catch it from a porous, fabric couch - I was given the impression it's more an issue of skin-to-skin contact.  Your question reminded me though - we DID wipe down the toilet seat with a clorox wipe every time they used it. (Again - maybe overkill? But I did NOT want to catch it.)
We found bandaids were ineffective on the backs of legs - they came off too easily with leg movement and were uncomfortable.  Sometimes we tried a bandaid at night after we had applied Differin.[/quote]
