A honey of an idea to combat MRSA

Robyn of Montana, a veteran reader of this blog and a medicinal blogger herself, sent me a link to an MSNBC story regarding the use of honey to fight infections. I also noticed it posted to FluTrackers.com by veteran poster Shannon.

It's really self-explanatory, so I will just bow out and let you read the story. Battle-tested in Iraq and here in the good old US of A, it sounds like a honey of an idea to me!

Sorry about that, Chief. I could use a few days off......

Thanks for the article, Scott. In this connection, see Robbing the Bees: A Biography of Honey, by Holley Bishop--a recent and readable account with a lot to say about why honey is so effective in treating wounds. You'll find it on Amazon.com.
