    Thanks to whoever linked to the new peanut advice BTW. Am just printing it out now to have a read. (The 39 page report that is - I don't need to print out the summary to read it.)

    :eek: I used to work on a massive chemical works (doing environmental monitoring and various other random analysis) and we all used to get sent on these health and safety days. One time we watched an hour long video about a fire which had happened on another chemical works and what went wrong with it and stuff. I think there was some problem with too much water and chemicals floating on the water and spreading and burning. Nasty stuff.

    Where we work, they make carbon fibre precursor, first from a nasty mix of chemicals, some of which basically melt human flesh, and then turn that into carbon fibre by heating it to silly temperatures. The second part of the process is new to our site and is having rather a lot of teething problems. Lots of "almost fires". If they turn into actual fires, you've got all kinds of bad stuff up in the air.. can't remember the word now - will ask OH when he wakes up.. :o Lots of skull and crossbones signs everywhere!

    Weezl, I think you should put the cubes on etsy - and then let us see. Purely to offer advice mind, not to buy anything or anything forbidden like that.

    It would appear that Benjamin does have some kind of reaction to strawberry fromage frais...he has a rash on his head.

    Is it like a nettle rash? That's what Celia gets when she has dairy, (although obviously if he's grand with milk stuff it's probably the strawberry not dairy iyswim, well I know you do, just trying to demonstrate that I do) it's worth speaking to the doctor about :-)

    Went to dentist, and yes I have an abcess. But he just kind of drained it because there are no antibiotics suitable for b/f?

    They gave me two different kinds in the hospital after my fever in labour if that helps?

    Blimey that was all a bit vague I'm a touch tired!

    I'd call it a toxic if there were lots of chemicals everywhere. We used to have a toxic drill every month.

    Aww Tia, that sucks! I once knocked a bottle over, I could have slapped myself! It isn't wasted effort though remember, the stimulation is just as important as the milk!
