Infants can get “Infant botulism” from ingesting honey. There have been three confirmed cases in Canada (specifically from honey) since 1979, and about 70-90 cases of regular infant botulism in the US. It’s rarely fatal…. Your recipe could have been lethal, but if you boiled the honey and the raw egg, it must have killed the germs. Now there are infant soy powders and hypoallergenic milk powders that can help!
