New Mother tests Positive for Drugs after Eating PoppySeed Bagel-Baby Taken from Her
Advertisements [?]
Local case that is big topic here. So far everything is pointing to this woman did not use drugs. The hospital is testing every woman who gives birth there.

A New Castle woman tested positive for drugs after eating a bagel with poppyseeds on it.

As a result, her newborn baby was taken away from her.

Liz Mort gave birth to Isabella back in April. After getting home from the hospital, CYS arrived at her door and took away her baby.

In a test done at Jameson Hospital, Mort tested positive for drugs, but it didn't make sense to her. Her doctor helped her figure out the "everything" bagel she ate hours before giving birth could explain the positive result.

"The short answer is yes – opium comes from the poppy plant, ingesting poppyseeds can cause levels of morphine and codeine in a person's urine," Dr. Neil Capretto with Gateway Rehabilitation said.
