Two British babies have contracted a rare life-threatening disease triggered by eating honey.
The boys, aged three months and five months, had to be put on life-support machines suffering from infant botulism.
Both had been feeding badly and showed typical symptoms – a floppy head, drooping eyelids and constipation. They were cured only after medication costing £50,000 a dose was flown in from America.
The incidents, confirmed last week, have prompted public health chiefs to warn that infants under one should not be given honey.
NSW Health has been notified of four recent cases of a rare bacterial gastroenteritis, prompting NSW Health to issue an alert, particularly to people who may have purchased food at Kenny’s Kebabs at Miranda Fair in January.
Director of South Eastern Sydney Public Heath Unit, Professor Mark Ferson said the 4 patients with bloody diarrhoea caused by Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) bacteria infection were reported yesterday in patients from the Sutherland/St George area
