⚠️ Safety & Precautions

Never give honey to children under 1 year.

☠️ Overdose & Toxicity Risks

⚠️ What happens if taken in excess:

Honey is safe for adults but can cause botulism in infants under 12 months (potentially fatal). Excessive honey consumption (>10 tbsp/day) provides high amounts of fructose which can contribute to fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, and weight gain. Unprocessed honey may contain grayanotoxins from rhododendron pollen which can cause 'mad honey poisoning' — dizziness, weakness, low blood pressure, and heart rhythm disturbances.
