Guest guest Posted February 7, 2001 Report Share Posted February 7, 2001 I was in the kitchen the other night trying to figure out what to make for my children for snack/supper. We just have a small supper because my husband works second shift. They also wanted cookies!! of course. I was looking at the cookie recipes in the book and did not have all hte ingredients for many of them so I made up my own recipe. These are no bake cookies for the quick sweet urge. 1 1/2 cups sunflower seeds 1/3 cup crispy peanuts 1/3 c. honey 1/2 c. peanut butter, freshly ground a small handful of carob chips Mix together and make into balls, It will be very sticky, but once you make the balls they stick together very easily. I got the idea for the recipe from peanut butter rice crispy bars. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Possibly chicken pox is what it sounds like to me... Sometimes they don't itch.. unless he got into something he is allergic to.. ... Most children who get measles will have a rash, high fever, cough, runny nose, and watery eyes. These symptoms last for 1 or 2 weeks and spread very easy. Chicken pox (Varicella) is a highly communicable viral disease that occurs most often during the winter and spring. Once you have had chicken pox, you are usually immune to it. However, if you have never had the disease, you can get it at any age. SYMPTOMSIf you have chicken pox, you may have a slight fever and cold-like symptoms. However, you may not realize that you have the disease until you notice a red rash on your face, trunk, scalp, or in your mouth. Later, you may find lesions on your arms and legs. Your rash will go through three stages: initially, it will be a red spot, next a blister (vesicle), and finally a scab. You may have "old" spots that are healing and "new" spots that are just beginning to blister. Your rash will probably itch. In fact, it may begin to itch before you notice the rash. Scratching your lesions can lead to infection and the development of crater-like scars. After your lesions have healed, you may notice "red spots." These spots are not scars and will fade within a few weeks. HOW IS CHICKEN POX SPREAD?Chicken pox can be spread by direct person-to-person contact droplet or airborne spread of vesicle fluid or secretions of the respiratory tract, such as coughing and sneezing. It is contagious from 1-2 days before the onset of the rash and may be spread until all lesions have dried up and become scabs. After you are exposed to the disease, it may take from 10 days to three weeks before you notice a rash. These two facts may make it hard for you to identify when and where you were exposed to the illness. <deuteronomy2929@...> wrote: Okay, gang, here's something I've never encounteredbefore.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 there are so many childhood rashes that can occur, I wouldn't worry too much. See what the doctor thinks and let us take it from there. My instinct tells me he will be fine in no time, being he is so well cared for and in great condition. My bet is 5th Disease (parvovirus B19) which is fairly common at his age.

If so then try 1 ounce of Goldenseal mixed thoroughly in 9 ounces of flax seed oil. Apply freely all over. Yarrow tea will help with fever. Keep up the total tonic and if he is not hungry then just get lots and lots of water down him. Add in some lemon too.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Hi , glad he is doing alright ;-) parvovirus B19 is commonly called 5TH Disease. It is a virus that children usually get between 5 and 15 years old. It causes a lacy looking rash that spreads over the body from the face down. Usually there is a fever. Sometimes adults get it too and even more rarely it is secondary, meaning that the person has had it before but managed to get reinfected. I was one of these "lucky" persons when I was pregnant with . Curiously I have also a severe allergy to pool chemicals. My rashes were always severely itchy but didn't cause much swelling. Now food allergies will cause swelling with the hives. So what kind of snack did they give the kids when they went to the pool? Anything he hasn't eaten before? I am way curious to find out if it is the pool itself or something else.
