Here's a little info contrary to the drift of the honey botulinum notion; post-WWI paralyzed vets often got bed-sores, sometimes now called pressure ulcers. One of the few effective treatments for the condition was to clean the injury then cover with honey and a bandage.
It worked, not 100% but better than anything else. The explanation was that honey was sterile, prevented infection (acting as a preservative, which it still does when at proper concentration - and that's what the bees do, they fan the hive until the honey is concentrated enough to resist any spoilage) and the sugar fed the underlying flesh where circulation had been damaged, allowing the body to repair itself and regrow the necessary blood vessels and capillaries. Much commercial honey is not only heated, but diluted with water to the point where it is no longer capable of killing bugs. Dr. R. O. Becker has discussed the use of CS for healing stubborn diabetes sores, even gangrenous ones.
