Victoria McDonough wondered about the possible dangers of eating comb honey
because the wax absorbs environmental pollutants:
 
Hi Vickie,
The shortest answer, without getting into all of the other environmental hazards
that we face daily, is that we do not/cannot digest the wax in our bodies.  It
passes through our systems as roughage and I therefore believe it to be safe.
