My mom passed away at the end of March. In cleaning out her home and
fridge, I found her eyedrops for glaucoma and was surprised to find
chloramphenicol as the active ingredient.  I believe it was a .5%
concentration but I'm not sure.  This was the first I'd ever seen it.

So, in some concentrations it is used, at least in Canada.  Eyedrops are
not honey, so I wouldn't speculate about any conclusions at
all.  Chloramphenicol is supposed to be linked with cancer.  Mom died of
lung cancer.  Again, it's not related.  I just noticed all this.
