This week a friend's child contracted impetigo and a staff infection from what is believed to be The Falls pool.

We know more and more people here who are opting to setup backyard above ground pools because of the hassle/problems associated with using The Falls pool. RBO did contact RealManage to let them know of the incident.

The RealManage representative said they would contact the appropriate resources.

Just an FYI.

You have RealManage? Oh you poor people of The Falls. We had them in our neighborhood in McKinney and they are probably the worst HOA Management company that you can find. As soon as we could - they were out.

Oh yes, they were quick with citations and such, but when it came to maintenance or something that they needed to do for the homeowners, remember they work for all the homeowners, things were hard to come by.

It's sad that you pay for something that you cannot even enjoy. I hope for y'all that things will progress and get better - summer is here and I understand that you want to enjoy your pool.

I found this in a CNN article when looking up impetigo to see what it was..

Mom worry: Could my child get impetigo from the swimming pool?

Facts: Not a concern. This bacterial skin infection, characterized by itchy blisters, scabs, or sores, is spread by direct contact with someone who's infected or from sharing contaminated towels or clothes -- not from water. "Kids get impetigo more often in the summer because they get cuts, scrapes, and bug bites then, which leave them particularly vulnerable to bacterial infections," says Robert Baltimore, M.D., a professor of pediatrics in the infectious diseases division at the Yale University Medical School.

Once your child is exposed to impetigo, it can take two to three days to develop symptoms. If it's limited to a small area, your doctor may suggest a topical over-the-counter antibiotic such as bacitracin or a prescription-strength antibiotic like Bactroban. Either of these may be enough to cure the infection and prevent it from spreading. Parenting.com: The savvy mom's guide to sun safety
