I don't believe it's the question of your child catching something because it's held in the barn. I believe its people thinking their too "precious" to risk it. You can contract any skin disease at anytime, anywhere. It doesn't matter. Handwashing is the best prevention. Believe me, I'm a nurse. I am not afraid to let my son wrestle at the Classic. Some people just look "down" on places like that. It's sad that our society is like that. Again, good handwashing and hand sanitizer is the best prevention.
