When does honey pose a risk
Professor Nina Vishnevskaia warns that consuming honey may cause a severe allergic reaction, including anaphylactic shock, which can be fatal if immediate treatment is not administered. She emphasizes that the reaction can result from honey's components such as pollen or propolis, especially in individuals with seasonal allergies or certain health conditions. She recommends that people with kidney diseases, acute gastrointestinal conditions, pregnant or breastfeeding women avoid honey unless advised otherwise by a doctor. Additionally, she highlights the danger of giving honey to children under the age of three due to the risk of botulinum poisoning from Clostridium botulinum spores that may be present in the honey via pollen.
