RE: LEAD & TB TESTING OR ELSE!!!

[Guest guest]

Others have commented on the TB testing, but I'm wondering about the lead testing. Lead poisoning isn't contagious so why would it be necessary unless there are symptoms pointing to lead poisoning? Could it be a legal issue, so parents couldn't sue the child care if their child turned up with lead poisoning later? Or to pinpoint causes of lead poisoning? But why just lead? Why not mercury or aluminum?

LEAD & TB TESTING….OR ELSE!!!

Hi All,I’d like to get some feedback. My 13 mo old has never been vaxed and she has perfect health, the only health concerns she’s EVER had were 2 colds her entire 13 mo of life and both were after she started daycare at 10 mo old. So…NO ear infections, NO diaper rash, NO asthma, NO sleeping problems, and the list goes on and on for the “NOs� as far as a medical history. Not only does she have perfect health, she is very bright, at her 12 mo checkup, it was determined that she is functioning at about 16 to18 mo old.  Anyway, she has her exemption paper work on file at the daycare. However, the government “authorities� that monitor daycare compliance are saying that vax exemptions do not include lead and TB testing and they are

requiring these tests for the daycare to be in compliance. While I understand that they’re not included b/c they are not vaccines, I do not intend to test my child for lead or TB b/c there is absolutely no risk to her for either of these at this time, and I do not like unnecessary medical practices on my child. By the way, we are residents of land, and my daughter attends daycare in DC and we happen to be dealing the DC authorities on this issue. So I’m researching the specific language on lead and TB testing in DC Regs. So has anyone had experience with this? I have seen a few lead and TB exemptions floating around online. What would you guys recommend? What direction should I go? They are threatening to kick my child out of daycare. The provider doesn’t have a problem with her not having those tests; it’s the gov’t with the problem. Thank

you all so much for your feedback! This group has truly been a blessing to my family and me!   Peace & Blessings, Stace
