They can catch colds, ear infections, diarrhea and worse. More severe illnesses like chicken pox, impetigo and hepatitis are also spread by germs. Toys are a vehicle for day care germs, so are unwashed hands of a caregiver after diaper change or blowing a child’s runny nose. Runny noses don’t always mean a child is sick, but the child can also be carrying something right under your nose so to speak, and you won’t know it for several days until your symptoms start showing.
