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.
