I had to keep mine off school when they caught it in the UK and it was a pain, Miss EE caught it at the last possible moment from Master EE and incubated it for a long time so I had to take weeks off work. A vaccine would have been so much better. I don't know if they vaccinate here in KSA but will check it out for Mini EE. I would be hesitant to send a child to school without informing them incase there was an immunocompromised parent, teacher or child or a pregnant and not immune parent or teacher regularly attending the setting.<br /><br />In KZ children were kept home but let out once the spots were crusted over. Funnily enough the lotion they used in place of calomine was bright green so all the children looked like little aliens.Ersatz Expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715056719284523304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798372697599428727.post-59798526008401407812016-05-30T13:26:49.551+02:002016-05-30T13:26:49.551+02:00What??

Sorry to hear you went through this!

A few months ago I went to hospital due to a persistent 4 day headache that was not responding to migraine drugs. Long story short, I had encephalitis caused by having had chicken pox as a child and spent 2 weeks in deutsch hospital on a drip. Not fun.
