A member asked:
I am breastfeeding and got stuck by a thorn bush today. i doubt it's poisonous, but if it was, can the poison get into my breastmilk?

No risk to the baby: The thorn you encountered may cause some local irritation for you in the area of injury, but there is no poison or venom transmitted by thorns. Therefore, there is no risk to your baby.
