Meat from livestock that were given antibiotics for pregnant woman

The Antibiotics in Meat aren't dangerous, and none of the Antibiotics given to Livestock will harm a Fetus.

In addition, eating Meat, including Red meat, is very important for a well rounded diet and Pregnancy.

You need the Iron and other Nutirents from the Meat.

There is no research that shows eating Meat from animals treated with Antibiotics leads to resisitant Bacteria.

It is also important to know (and scientific documents exist) that children raised on farms and rural areas are typically healthier, have less food allergies and fewer cases of childhood Asthma than their Peers.

These chlidren and their parents (including expecting mothers) are typically large consumers of traditional Meat.

Who shouldn't get the chicken pox vaccine?

A child who has ever had a severe Allergic reaction to Gelatin (yes, the stuff that's in Jell-O) or the Antibiotic neomycin.

If he has a severe Allergic reaction to his first vaccination, he shouldn't receive a second.

If your child has cancer or any disease that affects his Immune System, has recently had a Blood transfusion, or is taking high doses of oral steroids (for Asthma or Poison ivy, for instance), his doctor will carefully evaluate whether receiving the vaccine is a good idea.

What is scabies?

Scabies is a Skin irritation caused by an infestation of Tiny parasitic mites that burrow under the skin. The bumpy rash you see is actually an Allergic reaction to the eggs and feces the mites leave behind. The name comes from a Latin word meaning "to scratch," and if your baby has Scabies, he's likely to be doing lots of that.

Your baby can contract Scabies through skin-to-skin contact with someone who has it. Scabies is extremely contagious, and anyone can get it — even if they're scrupulously clean. It often shows up in more than one family member or in groups of children in daycare. There's no particular time of year when Scabies is more prevalent.

What should I do if my baby seems to be having a severe allergic reaction?

Call 911 immediately if your baby is having trouble breathing or passes out. Lay him down with his feet elevated to reduce the risk of shock. Try to keep him calm by talking to him and by remaining calm yourself.

Don't give your baby an Antihistamine if he's younger than 6 months. Even if he's older, don't give him an Antihistamine if he's having any trouble breathing or swallowing, because he may choke on it.

When the paramedics arrive, they'll probably treat your baby on the spot with an injection of epinephrine that will stop the reaction within minutes. (Epinephrine makes the heart beat more strongly, relaxes the muscles in the airway, reduces swelling, and improves tone in the Blood Vessels to increase Blood flow to vital areas like the heart and brain.)

The paramedics will take your baby to the hospital, where he'll be examined and watched for delayed reactions. The doctors at the hospital can help you determine what caused the problem. You'll want to follow up with your baby's doctor, who will probably refer you to a Pediatric allergist.
