ok yall Travis has erythema muliforme it is an alarm looking condition. EM is an alergic reaction that shows up either in the form of a rash or rather frightning looking lesions. it ca affect people of all ages but is often most sever in children and young adults. it is not contagious an d usually looks scarier then it is.em is believed to involve damage to the blood vessels of the skin which can lead to further damage to skin tissue. the following can be side effects of it. 1 vision abnormalities 2 decreased tearing 3 mouth sores 4 bloodshot eyes 5 eye pain 6 eye burning itching and discharge there are many causes of em. 1 allergic reaction to viral, acterial and fungal infections 2 sensitivity to food 3 immunizations 4 reaction to sulfa drugs, penicillin, barbiturtates and phenytoin. Travis got his from being sick and his body is trying to fight the cold and the cold isnt there anymore so its an alergic reaction to his own body so to speak. it will last 4-6 weeks and all the bumps will bruise before they go away.it is also called slap virus because when its all said and done it will look like someone beat the hell out of him he will be bruised all over. thank you all for your concern and support.connie
