HealthWatch: Infections Linked To Sports; Gun Violence Warning

Pediatricians say student athletes should never share personal items like water bottles and towels and need to learn good personal hygiene.

GUN VIOLENCE STUDY

A heads up for parents when choosing movies for their children. In a new study of 8 to 12 year olds, those who watched a movie clip with gun violence later played with a real gun for longer and pulled the trigger more often than kids who watched a movie clip without gun violence.

Parents are advised to know what their kids are watching and remember that 60% of gun owners don't lock up their guns.
