did anyone hear the thing about anbesol being bad for babies b/c when you put it on their gums and then the babies salivate with the anbesol mixed in and they swallow, it numbs their throats and some of them suffocate as a result? I heard this 3rd hand today, and didn't get a copy of the public service email which is apparently floating around. Is this an urban myth or is there some validity to it? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]
