6/ The California Dept. of Public Health identified the cluster and is coordinating BabyBIG antitoxin distribution. ByHeart makes just 1% of U.S. formula, so a national shortage is unlikely. Stop using ByHeart formula immediately; retailers should pull it from shelves. Investigations are ongoing.

9/ BabyBIG exists thanks to a small CDPH team who literally donated their own antibody-rich blood (since they'd all gotten a botulism vax as scientists working with the bug) to create the first batches. Since 2003, over 3,700 children worldwide have been treated.

4/ Treatment is actually where California plays a key role in this story, as CDPH runs the only infant botulism treatment program in the world.
Their BabyBIG medication, which is essentially an antibody to the toxin, cuts hospital time in half and saves lives worldwide.

*More than 3,700 children worldwide have been treated with BabyBIG since Arnon and his team conducted a pivotal clinical trial in California in 1997 that showed the medication could shorten hospital stays and reduce the need for breathing machines.*
*Produced in small batches every five years, BabyBIG costs nearly $70,000 per treatment, according to the California Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Program, which Arnon founded. Under state law, fees from the sale of the drug are used only to fund the botulism program.*

An infant botulism outbreak has sickened at least 39 babies across the U.S. and underscored the crucial role of a medication that treats the rare disease. BabyBIG, an IV drug, is made from blood plasma donated by a small group of scientists and other volunteers. It was the brainchild of the late Dr. Stephen Arnon. He was a California scientist who first identified the form of botulism that affects babies under age 1 and then spent his 45-year career figuring out how to treat it. It took 15 years

My daughter caught infant botulism at 6 weeks old. No one tells you to look out for what seems to be constipation early on before the onset of lethargy, refusal to eat, and hypotonia.
It took about 4-5 days for her to get diagnosed and another day or so to get the BabyBIG flown in from California

BabyBIG, a plasma-derived immune globulin, remains the only approved treatment for infant botulism, relying on antibodies from specially vaccinated donors to help affected infants recover.

Since as far as I can tell, California CDPH is the ONLY entity that insists on having BabyBIG on hand for IB outbreaks, I suspect THEY are the ones that finally broke the case. Considering, infant formula is a supposed focus of MAHA, they aren't taking lead. 🙄

The bright side is, through all of the horror that trial and error brings, our daughter got the medicine she needed and survived.
BabyBIG works in hours and lasts for about 6-9 months after the fact. At which point the gut is more developed and likelihood of this occurring again is almost zero.
