From what I have learned, there is no such thing as an allergy to honey—it would be like being allergic to sugar. Honey can make you throw-up if you eat too much in a sitting, but allergies—I don't believe it. The warnings required to be placed on honey really goes to infants, and it is not the honey, but the possible minute amounts of an organism which can be transferred from equipment to the top of the honey if the honey processor is extremely sloppy. Just a little input from a beekeeper. As to the Chinese honey, it is crap. Here in Fl, we are the first to push the state to regulate honey imports because the Chinese honey has been tainted with antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, and mixed with corn syrup.

A person is not allergic to the honey, but what’s in the honey. Pollen is extensively found in honey, as are viruses and other nasty things. This has been known for millenia. An ancient warrior king rebelling against the Romans left honey pots full after a supposed retreat from a battle. The Romans, ate the honey and got extremely ill, allow the king and his army to escape. The honey was made from flowers in the region that had a poisonous nectar, which didn’t affect the bees, but was known to the locals to be sickening...............Even in the Bible, a Proverb states that if you eat too much honey, you’ll get sick...........
