Baby botulism, 4 months post "Potluck Botulism" Outbreak: One of the patients who recovered from
the "Potluck Botulusm" outbreak 4 months ago took her 6 month old baby to the doctor. The baby
was having trouble nursing/breastfeeding and the parents noticed milk would "dribble" out of the
babies mouth. The baby had an apparent white coating inside the mouth.
Since the baby's birth, the mother explained she would place honey on her breast to encourage the
baby to nurse.
You notice the baby has little muscle control, appearing like a "rag doll", exhibiting flaccid paralysis.
