	Pileus: Welcome to our forum! and hope you will find useful info in here. Your question is a difficult question to answer for several reasons; IMO/ I believe not one of us knows for sure the path or end direction of the BF. Experts even disagreed on how and when it is going to appear in the Western Hemisphere, it could be next week, it could be a year from now, or it could be here already we just don't know about it. The facts are , it is spreading across the globe very quickly and for sure we can count on its appearance at some point or another. If I were in your position I will watch carefully the news development, get as much information as you can--accurate information--stay on alert as to how fast and where it is spreading to, and then make a decision which you will feel it is in the best interest of your child and his welfare. Let us know if there is anythign else we can do for you.
