Is It Safe To Breast Feed After Scorpion Bite?
I live in Arizona and my wife was stung by a scorpion. Although she is not having any allergic reactions, she is breast feeding our 5 month old child. Are there any concerns with the scorpion venom entering the breast milk? She also took Ledum as a homeopathic remedy for the sting.

Brief answer :
Its safe to breastfeed.
Detailed answer :
Hi, scorpian bite leads to acute poisoning and allergic reaction, once mother is cured of it then there is no chance of getting the child infected through breastfeed. She can breastfeed the baby. Take care.
