Many thanks to everyone who helped to educate me on the dangers of eating lox while pregnant. Just as a matter of interest, does anyone know how many women/babies are actually affected by this? On the one hand I am hearing that we should NOT eat smoked salmon during pregnancy, but on the other hand I am hearing that many women (including me) had no ill-effects from doing so. So what is the risk factor? norma, who loves lox and whose dh eats pickled herring almost every day. *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
