    Spots on the belly

    The missus is in a turmoil. her grandkids just came back from a few days in Scotland.
    Apparently they went into a hot tub and the water was 'stinky'

    The dad is ok, but the kids have all developed spotty bellies. All of them have had the wildies
    but they put that down to a dodgy curry.

    The doctor today said that it was chicken pox, but that does not gell with the symptoms.


    The only thing that makes any sense is that it is a warning from God. try to get rid of the jocks. now

    Probably smallpox. That's due for a comeback, given it was last seen live about the same time as Kate Bush

          I don't think anybody's quite sure what she is. Many say human, but specifics are hard to discern beyond that due to the strange wailing noises

              If the grandkids are scousers, then this is just down to their allergy to water. Scousers are reknowned for their ability to dodge jobs & responsibilities, but little is known about their aversion to water. This is in part due to one particularly dirty scouser who bathed in the crystal blue pure waters of the Mersey a few hundred years ago & polluted it for all of time.

                There may also have been soap in the water which could be causing this reaction.

                Although, if it was Glasgow they were visiting there's no danger of any soap there

                  When I was a kid I found that pushing a biro with the nib removed hard against my belly gave me convincing enough spots to get a day off school.

                    Dont use hot tubs!

                    Hot tub folliculitis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                    Hot tub folliculitis (also known as Pseudomonas aeruginosa folliculitis) is a common type of folliculitis, a condition which causes inflammation of the hair follicle.[1]:272



                    This condition is caused by an infection of hair follicles due to the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The bacteria is commonly found in hot tubs, water slides, and such places. Children are more prone to this because they usually stay in the water longer than adults. Hot tub folliculitis appears on the skin in the form of a rash, roughly resembling chicken pox and then developing further to appear as a pimple. Hot tub follicultis can be extremely painful and/or itchy, and left alone without scratching will go away much more quickly. If the rash is aggravated, it can stay, worsen, and spread lasting for months. By that point it is much more difficult to treat. The dots usually go away after about 7 to 10 days, but the condition leaves a hyperpigmented lesion that goes away after a few months.

                    Legionella is another bacteria associated with hot tub folliculitis.[citation needed]

                    Normally, the rash does not need specific treatment and will go away on its own. Antibiotics may be prescribed in some cases. If the rash continues to appear longer than the 7 to 10 day time period, a physician should be consulted. Folliculitis that is not treated properly could worsen and cause abscesses.
