The vaccine that has caused the most controversy over the years is DTP, which is diptheria, tetanus, and whooping cough (pert--I forget what the P-word is, but it's basically whooping cough), and anyway it was the P that was causing the problem, and they've since changed it to DTaP which is a lot safer (it uses just parts of the disease instead of the whole thing). The problem is not so much the vaccines but the reactions to them-- often fever and sometimes (but much more rarely since they changed that vaccine)seizures. High fever can cause serious developmental issues in a baby, and actuallyy the seizures are probably more a symptom of the fever than the vaccine. My mildly autistic brother did have seizures after his shots as a baby. Autistic tendencies run in our family, yes, so for the average person there's probably nothing to worry about-- you need genetics for any real disorder to happen. But for those who ARE geneticly sensitive, did the shots set it off? My doctor is not too worried about our genes here because the vaccines are much less reactive than they were in 1988, and at any rate, it's important for all parents to watch their babies carefully for fever. And I remember what Dan was like when he was a baby, and I can already tell Sammy is much more socially advanced than his uncle, so he might not have any of our autistic tendencies after all.

Actually, it's probably the vinegar that's the active ingredient in your toe solution. Vinegar is an amazing disinfectant.
