Infection Control: Prevention Before, During and After Play

This class covers key infection control techniques that will help make you and your bottom safer. The principal focus will be understanding what bugs are out there, how they spread, medical conditions that increase vulnerability, and the control of infection through proper selection, use and care (e.g., cleaning, disinfecting, and sterilizing) of nonporous toys. Since there is no one "right" approach to infection control, we´ll discuss some commonly used alternatives and the related trade-offs between cost, convenience and efficacy.
