Despite the venom, your question is actually reasonable. Your concern is valid given the incidents in Va. last year and the student who is battling the flesh eating bacteria.  Also, everyone should know that shallow standing water attracts mosquitoes and they are a prime carrier of a lot of different things.

That being said and as you can see, DCUM is not the right place to ask that question. Both CDC and the Miami Children's Hospital have pages on their websites that talk about precautions to take regarding to standing water.  Some of it may be helpful. Let your kid be a kid, but be vigilant.

I get this and they are good general tips but I don't think these warnings pertain to some puddle splashing on the sidewalk the morning after a storm.  [/quote]
