Summary
This study looks at how a medicine called BAT® works in children who have or may have been exposed to botulism toxin. The medicine is an antitoxin that helps stop the toxin from causing more harm. Researchers will take blood samples from up to 10 children to see if the dose is right, and will check for side effects over 30 days. The goal is to make sure the treatment is safe and works well for kids.
