It would be safest to not let your son and pregnant daughter in law hold Kuccikoo. Chlorambucil can definitely pose a risk to them and although the amount of exposure from licking or handling is likely minimal, as the potential for harm to the fetus/your son’s health is so serious, I would not recommend risking it. Best wishes for Kuccikoo and your whole family!
