[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 21829, member: 1991"] Suz, I had a problem with cows milk too, when I was a kid. My mother was unable to feed me herself (I was the only one she didn't breastfeed past the first few days) because a nasty staph infection went through the ward. A bloke cam in to visit his wife - he had boils all over his arms. because his arms were painful he rested them on his wife's bed. The mothers changed the babies on the beds and the infection went through the nursery. I had infection under my fingernails and my mother then got nasty boils on her :censored: from my fingernails. My older sister said that she had wicks in them, draining them. Then I "failed to thrive" on cows milk, so my parents bought a goat. Several. We lived on a quarter acre block and had a small farm packed into that space. So in a lot of ways, we lived like it was 1904 anyway. So I'd have survived to 10. But not much past 20. That's when my kidney infections started up, due to a congenital defect which needed surgery before my kidney 'blew out'. I don't think IVPs were around in 1904, Roentgen had barely discovered X-rays (1895). And without the IVP they would not have known until the autopsy. Interesting thought. Marg [/QUOTE]
