Kids love germs. Or rather, germs love kids. But running the kids to the bathroom every five minutes when they are playing on the playground, at school, or just in a crowded restaurant, to wash their hands is virtually impossible. But we want to protect our kids. Especially if your child has a cut or scrape because the dangers of some germs can quickly turn serious!
Thank goodness for amazing products like SAFESKIN Kid’s Antibacterial Gel! SAFESKIN* Kids Antibacterial Gel from Kimberly-Clark Professional is a new first aid topical antibacterial gel that provides a barrier to MRSA, a highly contagious staph bacteria that can infect skin invade other parts of the body and is resistant to many antibiotics.
I am particularly aware of the places we go and what my kids touch now as all three of my kids seems to be accident prone! With Katie learning to ride a bike without training wheels, she has constant scrapes on her knees. And when we are on a public play area at a restaurant or park, she crawls on her knees to play. I worry constantly that she will pick something up in those scrapes that could prove harmful.
Megan, my three year old, fell off a curb the other day and scraped her hands and knees on the concrete. As the bright red blood indicated a skin tear, I worried about our trip to the library later that day and the floor that she would be crawling around on as she went from play station to play station.
While SKINSAFE Wraps can protect open wounds I feel there is always the need for added protection, in my opinion! Since MRSA is highly prevalent in places where children come in close contact with one another like day care centers, playgrounds, locker rooms, classrooms, gymnasiums and sports facilities, I need to make sure my little ones are as safe as possible!
Using SAFESKIN* Kids Antibacterial Gel when caring for a wound when it happens can help protect my children from dangerous staph infections like MRSA. Why wouldn’t I use it? I certainly don’t want my kids dealing with such a serious illness when I can just head to my local Walgreens and get a tube for my kids! Be sure to pick up your $1.00 Off coupon for the Gel and the Wraps too on the SAFESKIN Kids Facebook Page!

NOT TOO MANY PRECIOUS GEMS HERE IN THE CITY, BUT OUR KIDS ARE OUR DIAMONDS EVERY DAY- JEWELRY DOES NOT MAKE YOU HAPPY- THEIR LOVE AND DEVOTION ALWAYS IS PRICELESS AND INCOMPARABLE!
All kids frequent places where germs are prominent and my daughter is no exception. It is almost impossible for a child to avoid them all together unfortunately.
Yes! They love the pool.
we try to avoid germy places but there everywhere!haha
The playground!

Ever since my son started preschool, he has been sick so often!

Yes, the park, school playgrounds, church.
I would say yes, considering germs are prominent even on places like doorknobs.
Hmm do video game controllers count? LOL
I think just having a kid means you will always be in aplace where germs are prevalent – they do get into everything!
Oh heck yes!! They sure do! All the time…everywhere…all day!!! LOL!!! :)

Germs are everywhere, so I’d have to say yes!

RIght now no she doesn’t but come fall when she starts pre-k, she will be!
Germs are everywhere…However, we homeshool so that eliminates that threat. Just out in regular public.
I guess if they play outside
Not usually. Our youngest is just a week old and doesn’t go out much. Our oldest does not go to daycare, but germs are everywhere, so playing outside, with the neighbors’ girls, or even going to the store will bring her in contact with germs.
Yes, my granddaughter comes into contact with a lot of germs at school.

I always pack anterbacterial gel in the back pack, and yes i think every kid wants to touch everything they hard to keep them germ free.

Yes this the play ground, and preschool.
Yes my kids are around germs all the time! I love antibacterial gel!
OK – you tell me where germs are NOT around all the time – LOL So yes, often :)
Yes, of course. But it’s not necessarily a bad thing – the more he comes in contact with it no, the healthier he’ll be as an adult.

My kids go alot of places where they get their little hands and feet into germs. This summer my middle son is insisting on wearing flip flops everywhere which makes me crazy because you know when he gets home and walks around my house he brings all that gunk in with him!
Not just school,playground,daycare but every time they go into any public place they have to pottie. UGH! I worry about even the remotes and knobs at home. In public, I am paranoid!
THE BATHROOM
Absolutely! Everywhere there are people there are germs! I work in healthcare so I know just how popular MRSA is, I don’t think people realize that we’re coming into contact with the bug on a regular basis. Playgrounds, shopping carts, bathrooms, day cares, child play places, etc. It’s very scary.
yes but it’s not tolo bad
There are germs just about everywhere we go… schools, parks, malls, pools, etc. I can’t even begin to think about it because it will make me crazy. I try to have them wash their hands frequently but you can’t avoid everything.
Yes we are never home so they are always exposed.
of course.it’s called school, lol..

I think everywhere they go, there are germs. Cell phones are one of the germ magnets!
