Why Honey shouldn be feeded to a child below 1 year old?
WARNING: Do not feed honey to infants who are less than one year old. Infant Botulism is a rare but very serious disease which affects the nervous system of infants. Honey may contain bacterial spores from Clostridium botulinum that could cause Infant Botulism. These bacterial spores are widely distributed in nature. They can be found in soil, dust, the air or raw agricultural products. C. botulinum spores have been found in corn syrup, honey, fresh and processed meats, fruits and vegetables. Scientists don’t know why, but this disease has never been reported in an infant older than 11 months of age.
