Re: how long to wait It is most likely fine. Most viruses cannot live on surfaces outside of the body for more than 2 days. If it is a hard surface object you can always use a bleach solution or Lysol on it. Most daycares/preschools use both of those to disinfect toys/things, so they shouldn't be harmful to your child. __________________ SAHM to Hannah Lee 07/09/08 http://cliposaurus.etsy.com Mix & Match Holiday Clips!

Re: how long to wait It's probably safe by now, but IMHO I would not want something hand made by someone who is sick. I've been sick several times this past year, just little colds, nothing really bad. But I always shut down my store whenever myself or my little one gets sick. It's just good manufacturing practices. __________________ ~ Naturally Pampered ~ Next stocking November 11th @ 2pm! Amanda, proud wahm to my 20mo Chunky...
