Mum slams party company after six kids got ‘bacteria infection from dirty hot tub’ A MUM has blasted a party firm after claiming six children contracted a bacterial infection from a “filthy” hot tub at a birthday bash. Wendy Brown hired the hot tub for New Year and for her son Conner’s 12th birthday.It was also to be used with Ms Brown's family on New Year evening.The birthday boy and his younger brother Lewis, aged six, had a rash come up on their face.Ms Brown, who said others who came to the birthday bash were also infected, claimed the “dirty” state of the hot tub caused the irritation. World's most scariest diseases Doctors said Lewis had a bacterial infection called folliculitis which can be caught from using a hot tub, whirlpool or swimming pool not properly treated with chlorine.The concerned mum slammed Hot Tubs Hire and Party Packages Manchester on Facebook claiming they had failed to provide the correct equipment.The firm has denied the claims and said it was seeking legal advice.
“It all went wrong from the minute they arrived” She wrote on Facebook: "It all went wrong from the minute they arrived.“They arrived without all of the equipment needed which resulted in my family running around trying to help and actually going buying what was needed."They didn't supply what had been agreed in terms of the gazebo and lighting. The hot tub had three punctures which they clearly didn't know how to fix (resulting in the hot tub deflating later on) and then they wanted the cash in hand before my son's party started."When I voiced my disappointment and concerns they weren't interested nor did they offer an apology and told me if I hadn't paid by an hour before his party they would come and take it all down leaving him with nothing!" The company blocked her online, she added.Ms Brown said discovering her youngest son had contracted an infection was the "final straw".She added: "Both myself and Conner were in tears on his birthday, however the final straw is the fact that today my doctor has confirmed that Lewis has a bacterial infection called Folliculitis which comes from dirty hot tubs!“
As do the other children who were in it the most!"Before I knew what it was I messaged her to ask what chemicals they use (thinking Lewis has another allergy) only to then find she had blocked me from the group I was on and now from being able to message her directly!" The company said it is the first time they have received a complaint since starting up the business 12 months ago.A spokesman added it has now adapted its rental policy to discuss any allergies with the customer before hiring out a hot tub.Daily Star Online has contacted Hot Tubs Hire and Party Packages Manchester for further comment.404 - File or directory not found.

The vagina normally contains both healthy bacteria and unhealthy bacteria. BV occurs when more unhealthy bacteria grow than healthy bacteria.
No one knows exactly what causes this to occur. BV is a common problem that can affect women and girls of all ages.Symptoms of BV include:White or gray vaginal discharge that smells fishy or unpleasantBurning when you urinateItching inside and outside the vagina You also may not have any symptoms. Your health care provider may do a pelvic exam to diagnose BV. DO NOT use tampons or have sex 24 hours before you see your provider.You will be asked to lie on your back with your feet in stirrups.The provider will insert an instrument into your vagina called a speculum. The speculum is opened slightly to hold the vagina open while your doctor examines the inside of your vagina and takes a sample of discharge with a sterile cotton swab.The discharge is examined under a microscope to check for signs of infection. If you have BV, your provider may prescribe:Antibiotic pills that you swallowAntibiotic creams that you insert into your vagina Be sure you use the medicine exactly as prescribed and follow the instructions on the label.
Drinking alcohol with some medicines may upset your stomach, give you strong stomach cramps, or make you sick. DO NOT skip a day or stop taking any medicine early, because the infection may come back.You cannot spread BV to a male partner. But if you have a female partner, it is possible it can spread to her. She may need to be treated for BV, as well.To help ease vaginal irritation: Stay out of hot tubs or whirlpool baths.Wash your vagina and anus with a gentle, non-deodorant soap.Rinse completely and gently dry your genitals well.Use unscented tampons or pads.Wear loose-fitting clothing and cotton underwear. Wipe from front to back after you use the bathroom. You can help prevent bacterial vaginosis by:Not having sex.Limiting your number of sex partners.Always using a condom when you have sex.Douching removes the healthy bacteria in your vagina that protect against infection.Call your health care provider if:Your symptoms are not improving.You have pelvic pain or a fever.

(Published Friday, Feb. 28, 2014)NOTE: Melissa Wyman, the regional manager for Elizabeth Arden Red Door Salon, will be answering your pedicure and manicure safety questions live at 1 p.m. Friday, Feb. 28. Scroll down to learn how to leave your questions for her.A relaxing day at the nail salon turned into a nightmare for one D.C. man, who doctors believe contracted a life-threatening infection during a pedicure.Bruce Walters, 63, remembers feeling some discomfort while he was getting a pedicure in his hometown of Indiana."They had some type of instrument that they were putting underneath my nail of my great toe and then I think they punctured it," Walters said.He didn't think anything of it, but 10 days later, when he returned to D.C., he started experiencing flu-like symptoms and confusion."I was not completing sentences and kind of disoriented," Walters said."If I would have slept another night in bed, I might not have lived past that point."
Doctors at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital found an infection raging through Walters' body, particularly in his leg. The most likely cause, they said, was bacteria that entered his big toe during the pedicure."He was getting so much swelling in his leg that it was cutting off circulation to his leg, and if that continued, he was going to lose the leg," said Dr. John Steinberg with MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.According to health officials, infections from nail salons are rare, but they do happen.Maryland, D.C. and Virginia receive 30 to 45 complaints a year about unsanitary conditions and infections, but that's out of hundreds of salons. That number could be much higher, but many complaints go unreported.Steinberg said, "It's scary to think this can happen from a minor incident. A minor break in the nail can actually be an entry point for dangerous bacteria."Melissa Wyman, the regional manager for Elizabeth Arden Red Door Salon, said people should be extra observant and look closely at cleanliness.
