We just had a presentation on rickets at our task force meeting.
Two hours of sunlight,not thru windows, gives sufficient vitamin D. The
problem is daycare without outside time, sunscreens, cultural clothing and
moms with insufficient D also.
The local Health Department had 6 cases of rickets in this area.
