Don't feed honey to babies under one year old.
Some young parents like to add honey to the milk their babies drink. However, foreign scientists have found that infants under one year old who eat honey and pollen products may be contaminated by Botox, which may lead to infant food poisoning. ? This is because soil and dust often contain bacteria called "Botox". In the process of making honey from pollen, bees may bring contaminated pollen and honey back to their hives. A small amount of toxin can poison babies. In severe cases, constipation lasts for 1 to 3 weeks, and then flaccid paralysis, crying weakness, inability to suck milk and dyspnea occur. But adults will not be poisoned by it. This is because botulinum toxin will be produced in the process of reproduction, and adults have strong resistance, which can inhibit the reproduction of botulinum toxin. Due to the unstable ecological balance of intestinal microorganisms, infants' disease resistance is poor, and it is easy for the ingested botulinum toxin to multiply in the intestine and produce toxins, thus causing poisoning.
