Garth's post concerning poison honey was of interest to this Texas
Beekeeper.  He mention a honey from "milkboom" that tasted fine but later
burned the throat.  We have a plant here know as "snow on the mountain,"
aka, milkweed (for it's milky sap), that is water white, no flavor, but
burns the throat for up to thirty minutes with just a 1/2 teaspoon or so
ingested.  Luckily, it is a fall plant and we are through extracting when
it is produced (September) and thus leave it on for winter stores.
 
Question:  What is the link between Garth's (South African) "milk" plants
and these?  if any.
