Was this baby totally exclusively breastfed?  *That* would be interesting to
know, too, if Coutsoudis's work turns out to be correct and adding anything
to the baby's diet can render him susceptible to infections he might
otherwise throw off.

A client's *husband* once developed E. coli-caused mastitis.  Their best
guess was a cat scratch and time in the family hot tub.
