> The “triple risk model” hypothesises that SIDS deaths result from coincident occurrence of a vulnerable infant, a critical developmental period, and an exogenous stressor. The finding of a correlation between low butyrylcholinesterase and SIDS looks consistent with an old proposal [0] for the "exogenous stressor": basiclly, fire retardents in PVC contain arsenic, phosphorus, and antimony compounds which are broken down by scopulariopsis brevicaulis, a fungus fond in babies' mucus. This generates toxic gases *which are cholinesterase inhibitors*. [0] Richardson, B.A. (1990) Cot mattress biodeterioration and SIDS. https://sci-hub.se/10.1016/0140-6736(90)90463-F |
