Baby may have died from mother's kiss

Anyone heard about this? Read this in a newspaper from Britain.

In the UK, a newborn baby girl may have died after being kissed by her mother.

11-day-old Jennifer Schofield contracted Herpes Simplex - a common cause of cold sores.

An inquest in Lancaster heard she had not built up enough antibodies to fight it.

Mother Ruth says doctors failed to spot she had been carrying the virus before giving birth.
