Honey can contain botulism spores that can cause botulism in young children with immature immune systems.
Explanation:
- Botulism is a rare and potentially deadly disease caused by a toxin that is produced by the bacterium "Clostridium botulinum". The disease starts with blurred vision, weakness, trouble speaking, and feeling tired.
- Honey could contain botulism spores that release a toxin which can poison young children/infants. The most dangerous effect is paralysis of the diaphragm, that implies the young children/infants cannot breathe on their own without a respirator till the disease is completely cured.
