I thought Medihoney was sterilized with gamma irradiation. I would think
they are basically aiming for the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. The
bacterium has to grow to produce the toxin botulinum.......if it's not
there, it won't grow, right?
Re: mom with nipple falling off, even if she used regular honey, I doubt the
baby would be nursing on that side :-( She should be told tho about the
consequences on infant getting regular honey. If she can pump, she can dump
that milk. Pat in SNJ
