Occasionally, however, I have had to put work first and cross my fingers she will be OK and not make other kids sick. There’s a necessary degree of denial in that and I’m not the only one who’s doing it. So when, exactly, do you know you won't be infecting anyone when you sent a sick child back to day-care? Sanjaya Senanayake is an infectious diseases physician and a lecturer at the Australian National University Medical School. He says you can’t always tell: “It varies depending on the type of infection. Kids tend to excrete a bit longer than adults.”

Good hygiene is also important for hand, foot and mouth because though they are infectious only while the blisters have fluid in them, their faeces remains infected for a couple of weeks. “In a sense, it’s literally a red flag, so the rash may not be infectious but everything else about that child is,” Senanayake says.

Your all grown adults and your using manipulating and terrifying children not to mention a 16 year old autistic girl to push your agenda, she is being mentally abused, controlled and exploited.
