The sitter just called and her son took a bath with a boy that has this and has lesions. I checked logan all out and aside from the bug/spider bite in his ear and a few bug bites in one of his arm pits he looks ok. I am going to call the ped in the am and probubly take him back in but I hope he doesnt end up with this. He is going to MIL's tomorrow. I am surprised she said yes!!

It's not a big deal. Both my boys have it. It's just these little wart-like bumps, but they don't bother the kids. Cody had them on various parts of his body for the better part of a year. TJ's had them for a few months. It took about 6-8 months of baths together before TJ even caught them. They said Cody was more prone to them because of his severe eczema and the fact that he usually has open sores -- makes it easier to catch these viruses.

Although I hope nobody gets them, if they do, it's definitely not the worst thing.

Yep... I looked it up. It's viral and pretty much goes away on its own.

Liz had it too and it was no big deal at all. she had it on her arms and legs in a few spots, and i think there were a couple on her face too.
