  A recent study from Italy provided evidence for the benefit of using 3 consecutive doses of wildflower honey, together with milk, for children with nonspecific acute cough. [cfp.ca]

• Nausea

  Patient 3 was a 79-year-old woman who presented with nausea, vomiting, and headache 2 h after consuming honey. Her temperature was 35 C, her blood pressure was 70/40 mm Hg, and her heart rate was 40 beats/min. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Signs and symptoms of a reaction include: Wheezing and other asthmatic symptoms Dizziness Nausea Vomiting Weakness Excessive perspiration Fainting Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) Stinging after topical application Honey might affect blood sugar [mayoclinic.org]

  Adverse effects Reported adverse events included mild reactions (nervousness, insomnia, and hyperactivity), gastrointestinal symptoms (stomachache, nausea, diarrhoea, and vomiting), rash, tachycardia, drowsiness, and somnolence. [doi.org]

• Abdominal Pain

  The most frequent symptoms were nausea and vomiting (100%), abdominal pain (90.3%), diarrhea (74.2%), palpitations (61.3%), dizziness (54.8%), chest congestion (48.4%) and dyspnea (48.4%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Consider the possibility of a battery ingestion in every patient with acute airway obstruction; wheezing or other noisy breathing; drooling; vomiting; chest pain or discomfort; abdominal pain; difficulty swallowing; decreased appetite or refusal to eat [poison.org]

• Hematochezia

  Severe cases developed oliguria/anuria, twitch, hematuria, ecchymosis or hematochezia. The median time from ingestion to onset of symptoms was 29 hours. Eight patients died (mortality rate: 25.8%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Irregular Heart Rhythm

  Signs and symptoms of a reaction include: Wheezing and other asthmatic symptoms Dizziness Nausea Vomiting Weakness Excessive perspiration Fainting Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) Stinging after topical application Honey might affect blood sugar [mayoclinic.org]

• Dry Eyes

  AIM: Contact lens induced dry eye affects approximately 50% of contact lens wearers. The aim was to assess the effects of Manuka (Leptospermum sp.) honey eye drops (Optimel, Melcare, Australia) on dry eye in contact lens wearers. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Blepharitis

  Clinical trials involving more than 100 patients harbouring various ophthalmological pathologies, including blepharitis, conjunctivitis and keratitis, showed unresponsiveness to conventional treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Corneal Edema

  There is evidence that honey may be helpful in treating dry eye disease, post-operative corneal edema, and bullous keratopathy. Furthermore, it can be used as an antibacterial agent to reduce the ocular flora. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Renal Insufficiency

  We present a case of a 13-year-old male who was stung by approximately 700 honey bees and developed progressive upper-body swelling and systemic manifestations of mass envenomation including rhabdomyolysis, renal insufficiency, and a transient transaminase [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Headache

  Patient 3 was a 79-year-old woman who presented with nausea, vomiting, and headache 2 h after consuming honey. Her temperature was 35 C, her blood pressure was 70/40 mm Hg, and her heart rate was 40 beats/min. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The unsellable honey is a new headache for around a dozen affected beekeepers already dealing with high bee mortality rates and dwindling honey supplies following a harsh winter, said Alain Frieh, president of the apiculturists' union. [telegraph.co.uk]

  This results in symptoms such as: sneezing watery and itchy eyes a runny nose sore throat coughing headaches trouble breathing There are over-the-counter treatments available for seasonal allergies, but many people prefer natural treatments instead. [healthline.com]

  That headache you feel is caused by the liver’s inability to process all of the toxins from the drinks you quickly consumed. It takes time, but honey can help speed up that process. [well-beingsecrets.com]

  Other symptoms may have included but were not limited to congestion, fever, sore throat, myalgias, and headache". Study duration was six months (September 2005 to March 2006). [doi.org]

• Flaccid Paralysis

  Infant botulism was suspected with acute flaccid paralysis and a history of honey consumption. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Altered Mental Status

  Grayanotoxin is a naturally occurring sodium channel toxin that causes life-threatening bradycardia, hypotension, and altered mental status. Complete heart blocks may occur in some patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The scientific reasons for honey's appropriateness in burns treatment are reviewed and an account is provided of the main benefits of such treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Heat-treatment falls short in the destruction of heat-resistant microorganisms. [hielscher.com]

This might indicate the important role of the central nervous system in grayanotoxin pathophysiology compared to the peripheral nervous system. Alternatively, intraperitoneal injection may result in increased elimination rates. [doi.org]

Cuts, abrasions and scalds can be covered in honey, it prevents bacteria from entering and healing is encouraged, a further advantage the cut edge does not dry out helping to prevent scarring and easy removal of any dressing. [web.archive.org]
