Dangerous foods../images/Emo18.gif

Honey may contain botulism spores, and also salmonella, which can be fatal to infants, and babies under the age of two years. Bamba is dangerous becuase it poses a choking hazard, and also because it contains peanuts. All nuts are dangerous until after age 5 when the opening between the throat and trachea is separated. If a small piece of nut enters the lung, it causes lipid pneumonia, and this mayy even require surgery. Certain foods are dangerous at certain ages. Some herbal teas may cause problems in infants. They do not need tea. Your milk is always safe.​
