That's odd. That's the first time I've heard of it and I've used it before and so has my mother. The article didn't say how the link was discovered. It's very hard to get herbs in London to begin with. The drug companies are on the move there.

"Although it found that all the cases were poorly documented, it said that the connection “should be seen as a signal”. Hmmm...I think I'll keep my eye on this one.
BTW, I moved to a very rural area far away from urban centers that wouldd be thrown into chaos with any BF outbreak.
