A kid came down with Scarlet Fever in the kindergarten class at Kelly elementary this week. It's not life threatening or rampantly virile or anything, it's just a rare disease and caught my attention. Figured it would be interesting for the Medical- and Bio-geeks that read this blog.
Poor little scupper had strep throat simultaneously, which is not uncommon but has to be pretty crappy. He's now in quarantine for 10 days or so.
Enjoy your cute little disease vectors,

I had the scarlet fever/strep combo when I was a kid. I don't recall much beyond a high fever, a hell of a sore throat, and a rash.
As was common back then, my doctor applied a few leeches and all was well.
Was the world in color yet Scarlet?
Yes, my case was one of the first in technicolor.
I had it too, but my case pales in the face of another report from someone named Scarlet.
