Abstract:
We report the case of a 9-month-old girl who presented in septic shock 
after ingestion of a contaminated herbal supplement commonly used to 
treat colic. Herbal supplements are widely used by well-meaning parents 
for many common conditions. Pediatricians should be aware that the 
variable manufacturing and packaging conditions of herbal supplements 
can lead to contamination with infectious agents.
