Guest guest Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Since he drinks the water, I would not use any bleach. the epsom salt would be better to take internally if he is going to and when my son is in epsom salt, i just sit there and keep him busy and never give him a dish to pour water on his head or he might drink it too. I have even taken a drink to the bath with us and just give him drinks from it and keep reminding him not to drink the bath water. My son reacts bad to bleach.....it is worse on his skin than epsom salt. And the epsom salt will draw the boil out.....it works great. To: From: terese11@...

And thanks to everyone who suggested epsom salt. I was amazed at some of the things you can use it for when I researched it. Terry Re: boils / Sara Epsom Salts act as an agent to 1. help the boil come to a head but it also helps keep the water warm. issue with Epsom Salts is if the kids like to drink the water, they will get the runs from it! Glad the area is better. Epsom Salts didn't come from me, altho it is a good plan. I suggested Clorox - which is what I usually use. > > > > Just wanted to thank you for the epsom salt idea.
