Two schools on the island are currently dealing with what seems to be an outbreak of a rare rash affecting students.
Potters Primary School has taken the step of notifying parents about the situation.
They’ve observed that some students arrive at school with unusual rashes and open sores that are not typical cuts or scrapes.
In their communication with parents, the school emphasized that this issue is concerning, particularly because of the close interactions between students and teachers.
“Should you notice any rashes, open sores, or ringworm on their skin, please do not send them to school. Rather, take them to the doctor. Note as well that they should not return to school without a note from a doctor to state that they pose no danger to anyone else at the school,” the statement said
The rare rash has been reported at another primary school in the St George parish
Editors Note: About eight children at Potters Primary presented with the rash. The skin disease appears to be contagious and they have not indentified what rash it is just yet. We will provide details when it becomes available.
What type of rash is it?
Why not just say what the rash is?
Maybe because they haven’t identified the rash yet🤦🏽♂️
How many cases did they find?
Has the school gotten confirmation that the rash is contagious?
Yes, the clinic nurses along with PAHO confirmed.
The pipe water is responsible for this. I’ve seen this in my area with many people.
This is so dumb to say. Some of yalll directly stupid
From one madness ro another. Run!!!
Is this monkeypox?
This is bull.
Is this contagious?
Antigua needs to just dissolve atp
Get your “God” to save you people
and he will save us to the point that he will even save you from your dumb thoughts. If you’d read your bible you’d see who God saved from leprosy, the dead he call forth. You’re like David in the lions den. You’re like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace just that you’re without the faith. But he will still save you from your thoughts.
How soon can we find a cure
The pipe water is causing breakouts in skin of a lot of people

It’s wild to say it’s pipe water. If it was such this would be happening a long time ago. Y’all just be dumb for no reason.
