Oh, I don't think I'm going to develop Scarlet Fever, but I was exposed.

The doc I saw today didn't even test me, she said it was too soon. The fever and glands, though...that did look suspicious, and strep can start to develop within one day.

Given my job - I drive medicaid patients to their out of town appts, and my regular client has a baby - I would've been given antibiotics whether I had a fever or not. Some of my clients are very ill and have compromised immune systems.

I'll tell ya, I don't at all like taking antibiotics, and I'll usually suffer before taking them, but not this time. I told the doc I would've begged her for some if she hadn't of offered up right away.

There is no way in hell I would even take a chance of getting one of my clients sick. No way. I would have to be off work way longer if I didn't take the antibiotics, and I'm not down with that either.
