Mad honey disease

No, it's not a jealous finace...

Bees that feast on poisonous rhodadendrums pass the toxin to their honey and a few people have been poisoned from it.

Not mentioned in the article is that Honey is a real danger to babies. You see, some honey carries spores of botullism. Most people have bacteria in the bowel that protect them but babies do not and there have been several reports of paralyzed babies who turned out to have botullism toxin paralysis.
