Several years ago, I received a call from a woman who had been bitten
by a bat, they suspected it might have rabies and were concerned
about her breastfeeding baby.  The infectious disease people at our
wonderful Department of Health were very helpful in looking into this.
  They reported that breastmilk is not a listed route of transmission
for rabies and that there were no reports of rabies transmitted
through the milk in animals, they also had information that the
injections that the mother had to receive were probably compatible
with breastfeeding because the medication has a very low bio
availability- that's why they give injections, this made sense to me
and also to the mother and her health care provider, she received the
treatments and continued breastfeeding with no untoward effects. They
were never able to locate the bat.  Barbara Wilson-Clay may be
interested in sharing her snakebite history also.  Cathy Liles
