Kathleen, medical grade honey is irradiated in order to destroy any
botulism spores. What's nice about medical grade honey is that it exerts
antimicrobial action against a broad spectrum of fungi and bacteria,
bacteria cannot develop resistance to it, and it penetrates biofilms which
can protect bacterial colonies from bactericidal agents. Previous
discussions identified two sources for medical grade honey which you can
see at
