"a) Is the time for temporary exclusion for a donor with Mammary Candidosis
2 weeks. Is the reason because of the infection, or the medication she is
taking. Is the exclusion for systemic and topical treatment?"
If you heat treat your milk, why would you be worried about it? I am not
sure that Candida in the milk should be a problem anyway. Candida is
everywhere.
As far as medication is concerned, I don't see this as a problem either.
"b) Can a mother donate after having had salmonella? This infection was 3
mths ago!"
Same thing. But why would you expect salmonella in the milk? Salmonella
only rarely gets into the blood and even then only for a short period of
time during the acute illness. Carrier states are rare except for
Salmonella typhi (which causes typhoid fever), so fecal contamination of the
milk is unlikely.
