What Would This Illness Be?

Hello Our friend came over with his daughter Saturday and found lice on her Sunday...I have vacuumed, disinfected and thrown away the costumes she was playing with.

What should I do?? She has not been scratching at all, and her brothers look fine. She also loves to rub yogurt in hair...don't ask...and hates to have her scalp scrubbed, which i...

Single Measles, Mumps and Rubella in Tucson Area

Do any of you know where we can get single vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella, as opposed to MMR? I have an 11 month old son who will need vaccination next month, and with measles going around I'd like to get him protected, however, I'm not too thrilled about giving him MMR. Please advise!
