People to this day feed their infants honey, and they die. It is still not
universally accepted that the bacteria in honey is deadly to infants who
cannot digest it, although it is harmless to adults. My MIL, didn't know
that, my own mother either, I knew for some odd reason though, read it
somewhere before having children. Thank goodness.
And as for the learning experience, thank you too!

I think the information is getting pretty wide-spread these days,
though--I've heard it for years, from many different sources. But just for
anyone who isn't up on this--it's only *raw* honey that is a problem. Cooked
honey, such as in a cake or cookie, would be fine.
