A few years ago in this area of the country, it was recommended by
pediatricians that infants not be given any honey  because of the risk of
infant botulism.  Apparently the strain of botulism only adversely affects
babies, but adults were okay.  Now, I can apply that information to botulism
in bottle fed babies, where moms have added honey, or put it on a pacifier,
but breastfed??????
