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
