Children should not eat honey

Parents are not allowed to feed honey to children under one year of age - this warning was issued after three children in England had to go to the emergency room for severe food poisoning.

The latest case is a 15-month-old baby - the third case in the UK with acute poisoning in the past year, involving honey.

According to Telegraph, honey-level poisoning is caused by poisonous spores, which are often in a state of "sleep" in sandy soil and dust, but sometimes they also enter honey.

When these spores enter the baby's digestive system, they resurrect, grow and multiply, creating a poison that can cause poisoning. Symptoms of this condition include children with muscle weakness, difficulty breathing and constipation.

Experts say honey is safe for children over the age of one year, but the intestines of babies under one year of age are not fully developed to fight poisonous bacteria.

Sam Montel, from the British Food Standards Agency, said "although honey is considered to help children reduce coughs, honey-poisoning is a very serious condition, so it's no use to treat coughs." worth exchange for this risk ".

"Honey is also a source of sugar, so avoid using it, as well as with other sugary bimbim and drinks, to limit the situation of children with tooth decay," the expert said.

"Because of the association between honey and poisoning, parents should not use honey under 1 year of age in any situation, even when mixed with milk."
