Bring On Lemons

 Well folks, it's going around. Everywhere I go and so many people I talk to are getting sick. I did a little research and I suggest you do your own as I'm only known as Dr. Mom to those without the power to give me the title in any official capacity. Here's what I've learned: Days contagious with the FLU = 5-7 Days contagious with COVID = 5-10 Days with RSV = 3-8 Days with STREP 24-48 (with antibiotics) and 2-3 weeks (without antibiotics) I know it's hard to stay home when there's work, school, family obligations, etc... but the truth is, each day we encounter someone who has an immune system that isn't strong enough to fight off these illnesses. I'm not telling you to vaccinate or not vaccinate, to see the Dr or not see the Dr - I'm simply asking you to take some precautions to help those around you.  May your paths be abundantly filled with lemons, sugar, sunshine, and none of the nasty crud going around! xoxox Crystal Today's article is by ...
