Botulism baby fights for life as honey on dummy is blamed
(The Scotsman 05/11/2009)
A 16-WEEK-OLD baby boy was fighting for his life last night after being diagnosed with botulism. Logan Douglas was admitted to hospital in Edinburgh, where doctors spotted signs of the disease and ordered a test. Health protection experts said there had not been a report of a baby with botulism in Scotland since electronic record-keeping began in 1983. Logan has been left paralysed after contracting the disease, which doctors believe he could have contracted through sucking honey from a dummy.
