I was permanently banned from the Reddit sub without recourse for posting this despite not breaking any rules. I’m slowly making the migration over thanks to such encouragement.

    Wait, why can’t you feed it to Children under one?
    Some type of bacteria they’re not ready to handle yet?

      Correct. Infant botulism can result from bacteria in raw honey that is otherwise harmless to anyone with a developed immune system.

        At first I was like “yeah doesn’t everyone know that?” And then I realized that I didn’t know that until I had kids.

          I don’t have kids and I know it. When I was a kid, my parents would make us banana smoothies as a treat. It’s just banana, milk, ice, and honey. They mentioned a few times that they were excited for us to turn a year old so we could have them because of the honey.

          Yeah, I didn’t know that until very recently, and that was because of an anime I was watching.

      There are bacterial spores that are no danger to nearly all adults but will absolutely end your baby.

          Not sure why you were down voted because it’s true. Honey has very low water activity and essentially remains in good condition over tens of thousands of years. It’s been used to treat wounds throughout history by helping create an environment inhospitable to microbes.
