Unlikely to be pbm: While it is a good idea to wash off the fruit, it is unlikely to cause a problem for your baby.You could get a stomach bug, usually limited to the intestines, and unless it caused you to become dehydrated it would not stress baby. Only germs that enter your blood like measles or blood poisoning can get through the placenta to baby. Localized illnesses cannot get through babies protective barriers.
