Hello Netters,

I know we are supporting the usage of Olive oil more and more.  My question
to you all, since I have had a lenghthy discussion with Linda Kuntner about
this and tryed to do a lit search on olive oil, I would like all your input
on:  anyone aware of effects of olive oil in regards to allergies, effects
to infants or children?  There is not been one case of any allergies or
problems with olive oil and usage on the mothers skin or to infant that has
orally licked/sucked the nipple of a mother that had olive oil on the
nipple.  Does anyone have  any clinical experience or anidotal info on
olive oil????  You can e-mail me directly, if you want. 
[log in to unmask]  Thanks
