    Recently a Dr. was on our local news in regards to the H1N1 virus and said that children shouldn't be given Pepto-bismol because it contains aspirin. I never knew this and thought I should pass it on. Stomach issues seem to run with the virus.

    thats alot. Yea I heard them telling us that too. It also will turn your stool black if you take to much so don't get alarm about that either.
