Uci mamaKavin Dari : www.mayoclinic.com Honey: Why isn't it safe for infants? I've heard that you shouldn't give honey to infants. Why? No name / No state given Never give honey to infants younger than 1 year. Honey is a known source of bacterial spores that produce the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This bacterium makes a toxin that can cause infant botulism. This rare but serious form of food poisoning affects a baby's nervous system and can result in death. Unlike adults, infants haven't developed beneficial bacteria in their digestive tracts that can control botulism spores and prevent growth of the bacterium and production of its toxin. Signs and symptoms of infant botulism include: Persistent constipation Floppy arms, legs and neck Weak cry due to muscle weakness Weak sucking and poor feeding Tired all the time (lethargy) Botulism spores are also found in uncooked food. For this reason, feeding an infant any undercooked food is risky as well. ================================= Botulism What is botulism? No name / No state given Botulism is caused by toxins made by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The toxin causes muscle paralysis and is among the most lethal substances known. The disease can cause death within 24 hours by paralyzing muscles used in breathing. You can get botulism by eating improperly canned foods or fish that are contaminated with these naturally occurring bacteria or their toxin. Botulism toxin potentially could be used as a biological weapon by contaminating food supplies. Rarely, bacteria that produce botulism may also occur in spore form in contaminated soil. In this case, botulism-causing bacteria could spread by eating fruits and vegetables not properly cleaned before cooking or preserving. Infection can also occur through a contaminated wound. Botulism usually develops between 12 and 36 hours after ingesting the toxin. Signs and symptoms of food-borne botulism include: Abdominal cramps Nausea Vomiting Diarrhea Double vision Drooping eyelids Dry mouth Slurred speech Difficulty swallowing Muscle weakness and eventually paralysis that starts at the top of your body and moves downward The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and some state health departments keep a supply of antitoxin against botulinum toxin. Treatment includes taking the antitoxin and possibly using a ventilator for breathing until the toxin works its way out of your system. If you have the bacteria that produces the toxin in a wound, treatment includes cleaning the wound and taking antibiotics. An experimental botulism vaccine exists, but because the disease is rare, experts don't recommend immunization. In the United States, about 25 cases of food-borne botulism are reported each year. ------------------ 2012/3/5 <jessie111...@yahoo.com> > Moms setau sy madu blh diksh umur 1taonan. > > Jessica - Moms 4 Evan, Abel, Julia n Jeremy > FB : Jewel Kiddies - Sell Clothes 4 Babies n Kiddies > Email : jewelkids...@hotmail.com > Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone from Sinyal Bagus XL, Nyambung > Teruuusss...! > > -----Original Message----- > From: Fadhlia Nissa <fadliatunn...@gmail.com> > Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2012 12:53:35 > To: <balita-anda@balita-anda.com> > Reply-To: balita-anda@balita-anda.com > Subject: [balita-anda] Madu untuk Bayi > > Moms, mau nanya...
