I was permanently banned from the Reddit sub without recourse for posting this despite not breaking any rules. I’m slowly making the migration over thanks to such encouragement.

    Correct. Infant botulism can result from bacteria in raw honey that is otherwise harmless to anyone with a developed immune system.

      At first I was like “yeah doesn’t everyone know that?” And then I realized that I didn’t know that until I had kids.

        I have a kid and this is the first I’m hearing about it.

          Our pedi was over the top with reminding us. With both kids, actually.

          He probably has some history that led him to stress that so much to patients.

        I don’t have kids and I know it. When I was a kid, my parents would make us banana smoothies as a treat. It’s just banana, milk, ice, and honey. They mentioned a few times that they were excited for us to turn a year old so we could have them because of the honey.

        Yeah, I didn’t know that until very recently, and that was because of an anime I was watching.
