Answers:
I live in Cedar Rapids, but luckily not in an area that's been evacuated!. The news has been on non-stop warning people of the risks of flood water!. There's always the possibility of disease organisms in flood water especially when sewage water is included!. Here the sewers are completely full and are helping to flood the streets with fecal matter (not pretty)!. Your kids should stay out of the water, even just the standing water by their house!. They also should NOT put any of the water in their mouths! Most of the news stations are saying to get tetanus shots if you're in the flood water with open wounds!. If your boys have already had one they should be fine and you should have nothing to worry about!. I hope this helps you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
