The Playcentre Bug 😛
**Public Health Warning Notice** There has been a severe outbreak of "Playcentre Toe" in the Paekākāriki community. Symptoms include splotchy colourful marks, usually starting on your tamariki then quickly spreading to your toes... fingers... all limbs, and in some cases the face. ("Facial Playcentre Toe" is often not picked up for hours and hours until after you've been shopping and you're wondering why people have been looking at you weirdly all day). "Playcentre Toe" is very infectious, and there is no cure...once you have the Playcentre Bug, there's no looking back. Feel free to add pics of your own "Playcentre Toe" outbreaks. We encourage you to come along to your local Playcentre and get your splotches...before they get you.
