Yoga vs. Fifth Disease

PregsMcSnoozalot · December 2013

So I had never heard of this "fifth disease" thing until I joined The Bump, and since I am a high school teacher and not a little kid teacher, I didn't worry too much about it (besides trying to avoid little coughing and sneezing kids at the grocery store). Well I've finally gotten the ok to start exercising again and I was SO EXCITED to rejoin my Tuesday night yoga class, but then it hit me: the yoga class is held at a Head Start center, in the little kid room. Should I go or not go??

Go.

Why woul you not go? Is there a current outbreak?

Why not? I'm around kids all day. Ask your dr if you have an immunity to it if you're nervous.

I would go. Kids are everywhere. Plus if you have been exposed before you should be immune.

What's the "fifth disease"? I haven't heard about it yet...

Fifths disease is also called "slapped cheek". It presents itself as any other cold or virus in kids with all the same symptoms. It's not until after the symptoms and illness has gotten better that the red rashy cheeks appear. So you can't really keep yourself from being exposed until after you were exposed. I work in daycare so my doctor checked for the markers when I had bloodwork. I think you can build an immunity to it, but im not sure.
