If there is one rule you should always follow when you're around a newborn baby, it's keep your kisses off the chubby little cheeks. We know, we know, babies are hard to resist; they're adorable. But the risk of spreading a cold, the flu, or any infection is not a chance adults should take. Rhian Brace from England knows this danger all too well, after her newborn son, Ernie, contracted a potentially deadly neonatal herpes virus from an unknowing visitor. After breaking out in blisters that kept getting worse, Ernie was rushed to the hospital and given treatment for the virus, which for the time being has helped. But according to his mom, Ernie isn't out of the woods just yet. In a post on Facebook, Rhian is now sharing her story so that other parents will know the warning signs of this serious infection.
