Augh. I'm sorry to hear everyone else has succumbed to the strep. Hope you don't get it after all.
Trading contagion stories, here: When exactly did James come down with this again? Is there any possibility that Allegra could have been exposed during her overnight? And what's the incubation period? I'm guessing she would have shown symptoms by now (she hasn't), but thought I'd ask you, since you guys probably have more up-to-date information than you'd like.
And the trade back is that Allegra has been exposed to scabies. The most problematic exposure would have been the day AFTER she was with you guys. But it apparently has a 4 to 6 WEEK incubation period, so she might have been exposed sometime BEFORE that. It's unclear how contagious it is in folks not showing symptoms, though. (I've been phantomly itchy ever since getting the news, of course!). I'm calling the doc soon, to see if they have any advice on the matter. I'll let you know if they think WE should be treated. If not, I'd seriously doubt you guys would need it.
