small tattoo on one arm.
itchy rash to entire body.
pus-filled sores over back and both shoulders.
Dr's were going to hospitalise her she was so bad, only they didn't as it was New Years Eve (sad fact of our health care system - public hol's and weekends - get as many patients out as possible - sorry, side-tracking here).

Sorry, I know you asked for positive reports, but unfortunately it seems there is as many bad as good reports.

After witnessing my daughters discomfort and distress, having her beg me to tie her hands up as she didn't know what else to do to stop from scratching (I didn't of couse) - my advice - definitely NOT worth the risk - severe reactions like my daughter's may be rare, but you never know, it could be your son.

Best wishes for a happy holiday.
