Can moth balls affect my babies clothes?
I am getting ready to put moth balls in my closet and I have a newborn on the way. His clothes will be in the closet as well so do you think that the moth balls and it’s scent will affect my baby. For example if a moth is in my babies clothes and I didn’t know and I put the clothes on him will he get sick?
Moth balls are highly toxic!
“Hospitals have reported a high incidence of hemolytic anemia in newborns and small children who were dressed in clothing or wrapped in blankets that had been stored in naphthalene moth balls. In pregnant women, naphthalene can transfer from the mother’s bloodstream into the bloodstream of her unborn baby. The toxin has also been detected in breast milk, though not in quantities that are thought to be of concern. Naphthalene has also been linked to nasal cancer.”
That’s a quote from this site -

I really don’t think you should even have them in the house!
