Here above is the reference where I found the following:
Estimate of acceptable daily intake of formic acid for man: 0-3mg/kg
If my weight is 100 kilos I could intake 300 mg of formic acid every day,
Natural content of honey is 85 mg/kg and after spring treatment, the residue
goes up to close to 300 mg/kg. When I wrote that 300mg/kg is far from the
acceptable daily intake limit, I meant that nobody eats 1 kg of honey a day.
My point is that treatment with formic acid will not constitute a toxic
danger for human consumption.
It is also mentionned in the above reference, that a daily consumption of
2000 to 4000mg in short term would not cause any intoxication symptoms in
man.
