Toys in Pediatric Offices Harbor Rhinoviruses

Another good reason to stop nutritionally abusing children so they can stay away from doctor's offices.

"The toys in pediatricians' waiting rooms could be exposing kids to cold viruses, researchers here reported

One in five of the toys tested in a pediatric waiting room were positive for rhinoviruses or influenza B, according to Diana Pappas, M.D., of the University of Virginia Children's Hospital.

Cleaning the toys provided only a modest germ-killing effect, Dr. Pappas told researchers at the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, held jointly with the annual meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America."

It makes sense that docs, especially pediatricians, would sicken kids as they are complicit in child abuse.

At least they are consistent.
