Gracie Leigh has giardia

Hoping that they get better soon. Thankfully you knew what to look for and was able to catch it early.

I googled home-made disinfectant, since bleach wouldn't leave my red carpet or my green coach looking too good. I found a site where they suggested vinegar and tea tree oil in one spray bottle and hydrogen peroxide (of course - forgot about that)
in another. Don't know why they have to be separated. I sprayed everything.

I don't have a dishwasher or a washing machine in my apartment, but I do have a large kitchen sink. I threw all of their toys into the sink, filled it up with hot water.
Since the recipe was specific about keeping the two disinfectants separate, and since I'm a scientist, I immediately threw some of both into the sink. It didnt even explode, or at least smoke. A little boring! The toys got rinsed in the shower and now they have nice clean toys.

Necessity is the mother of invention. I have to say that I have such a good time figuring out these things. It doesn't take much to make me happy!

Gracie Leigh's poops are now huge compared to the skinny little tootsie rolls they were and I don't see anything suspicious. Thank God!

You are a brave woman! I don't know how I could survive without a dishwasher or washing machine (especially the washing machine) now that I have them! Sad thing is, I've only had them since May... How did I become so dependent on them in such a short amount of time!

LOL, oh my goodness! You are so funny! I think having you as a roommate would probably be about the most exciting thing ever! I bet you had fun in college...
