If you're like me, you wondered if these claims are true.  I have heard these statements many times.  One day I decided to search the National Institutes of Health test database to see if there was any documented proof.  Sure enough, honey was verified as creating a natural hydrogen peroxide, which we all know aids in healing lots of things. 

 

Full disclosure:  I am a beekeeper in Carrollwood and regularly enjoy the benefits of raw, local honey.  I've tried it on cuts--yup, it works, although a bit sticky.  I've had allergies--not anymore.  I have not tried it for mosquito bites, yet, because I'm happy using natural vinegar for that, and it's not sticky.  For more, visit http://www.tampa-raw-local-honey.com
