Hi, I don't have info. on thimerosal free Tetanus

vaccine, but I want to say you are very wise in

deciding to avoid tetanus and other vaccines...

My son was " pushed over the edge " by MMR,at 18 months,

but he was improving, When he was 3 he fell, cut his

head, and was given a tetanus shot. He lost all gains,

and more. He has not spoken since then.

He just turned 10.

Before tetanus he had a vocab. of about 7-10 words, up

from the loss after MMR. I guess I would tend to be

very cautious. Lindy

that's what we did. The imunoglobulin is mercury free. We did have to have

his doctor demand that they give it to him.

According to my dad (a retired doctor) the tetanus shot is important, BUT the

best way to keep from getting infected, or getting rid of an infection is to

soak the injured part in soapy water that is as hot as you can stand it. Soak

it for 10-15 minutes three times a day till all sign of infection is gone.

With my son I'll put the body part in a bowl of warm soapy water and slowly

add hot water. If he pulls the body part out I know it's too hot for him and

add a little cool water and then he'll put it back in. Luckily he LOVES water

play, so soaking is no problem.

It doesn't need to be anti-bacterial soap, a mild soap is fine.
