Well my lot seem to get it all. DD1 woke up with cheeks as red as if she had been slapped and loe and behold.. there is a medical name for the virus.. “Slapped Cheek Syndrome”!
She had been playing with makeup at the weekend and i thought i was going to have to add it to the (long) list of things that she is allergic to. .. but no.. her teacher said several kids have it.. and that she hasnt been getting heavy handed.. so it must be slapped cheek syndrome.. which is a virus that shows itself in a red rash on the face!
So to adding to the list of all the things DD1 has caught since she started junior infants in school is of worms, nits, chicken pox, we now have slapped cheek syndrome!
