According to a report on KQAK-FM in S.F., a researcher at
the center for disease control has issued a report that
over 10% of all honey on the shelves has a low form of
botulism in it.  Low, as in "not harmful to adults".
Infants fed the contaminated honey can exibit symptoms
of severe food poisoning, including temporary or permanent
paralysis.

I wish I had a hard copy pointer to check up on, but
this is all I have at the moment.
