Put my Girlfriend in the Hospital
My girlfriend started using this honey with Sleepy Time tea. My girlfriend woke up the next morning with horrible stomach pains, but didn't attribute it to anything. (She had not been having stomach pain prior to these episodes.) She used the honey again the next night, and woke up around 3:00 am violently vomiting, but we just assumed shed had a bug. So I made her some tea, she got into bed, and tried to get some sleep, until she woke up in the morning throwing up bile, and at this point we went to the ER. They ran some tests, checked everything out, and said everything was completely fine, and attributed the episodes to food poisoning. When we got home, I asked my girlfriend if this all started when she started using the honey, and she realized that's exactly what it was. She didn't use the honey that night, and the next day she was fine; no vomiting, fatigue, anything. We did some research and found out that unfiltered honey can develop bacteria that if ingested can lead to botulism, paralysis and even death. Needless to say, we got rid of the honey.
