Special instructions for the use of honey

Now that we have found out what helps to treat tonsillitis, we should ask the second question: is it possible to have honey in angina? Here the answer can not be unambiguous:

1. This beekeeping product, because of its storage and storage conditions, can contain clostridium botulinum spores - a bacterium that produces a deadly botulinum toxin. Conditions existing in the stomach of an adult will not allow the bacteria to develop from a spore and provoke the disease. But the pH of the baby's digestive tract for up to a year or even up to one and a half is quite another matter. In it, bacteria, not being killed, can take a vegetative form and allocate an amount of botulinum toxin, which will be dangerous for the health of the child.
2. Honey contains simple sugars, so it causes a sharp increase in glucose in the blood of patients with diabetes mellitus. This should be taken into account for the correction of sugar.
3. In large quantities, sweet amber can cause the appearance of excess weight and / or tooth decay.
4. This product should not be taken by people who are allergic to pollen or other parts of plants.
5. Taking honey for a child over 2 years old should start with minimal doses, carefully following changes in its condition, as the product of beekeeping is a very strong allergen.
6. You can use honey from the throat only one that did not have time to be sugared.

Warning! Useful properties of the product are manifested only when it is used in its original form, to the last resort - dissolved in a liquid at room temperature. Honey, filled with boiling water or hot milk, does not benefit any more than the same amount of sugar.
