I found this on Facebook today…

I was on Facebook today for a few minutes, and I found this link associated with Gillette Children's Hospital.  http://www.stopcmv.org/en/about/  This link discusses Cytomegalovirus, or CMV and its link to birth onset disabilities such as cerebral palsy, deafness, and blindness.  I have never heard of these conditions being brought on by what appears to be a run-of-the-mill virus, which the CDC claims, one can easily eliminate via vigilant handwashing.  I hope there is some truth to this, and not just a scare tactic to make sure I wash my hands.  Please check out the link and judge for yourself.
