I would think getting bumped hard would also be a risk factor.
Of course, in calm water that's less likely.

Actually it is mold spores in the bilge and cushions.

Search mycotoxins and related toxins. Largest cause of spontaneous
miscarraiges.

Hmm.. sailed to the Farallons on a Mason 43. One of the crew was
a pregant woman, probably in the last 2 month of pregancy.


Not too worried. We've already spoken to doctors about it. Note the
source
listed was 15 years old! The biggest risk aboard is heat, as Jeff
pointed
out.
