Greetings to everyone.  A mother of a seven month old breastfed baby in
Zimbabwe has been stung by a scorpion.  Would it be safe for her to
continue breastfeeding?  I can only find one source with no refs to say
that past the newborn stage it would be safe.  All the other research I can
access on PubMed is about mother rats deliberately given scorpion venom
during pregnancy, very little on lactation.

Thanks if you can help.
