How interesting that the bacterial count in used breastmilk actually
DECREASED!  Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't leukocytes present in
breastmilk?  Is it that these leukocytes are gobbling up the enterococcal
bacteria?  Oh, an early morning theory at best as I've had only one cup of
java.

I certainly hope Rachel Brusseau plans to publish her findings!  When I saw
*BM* in her post however, I thought she was talking about something else...
 I had to think a moment before figuring out that this meant breastmilk.
