[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't panic. It is a very very slim chance that honey had botulism spores in it. Watch him carefully for any signs of being sick. Kids around the world eat honey when they are under a year. While it is possible to get botulism from honey, it isn't like all honey has botulism spores in it. By the time they are a year they can fight it off, at 10 months your son likely has some ability to fight it off even if by some remote 0.00000001% chance he did eat honey that had botulism. Most infants who get very sick are in the 2-4 month range. Stats "There are 80 cases of infant botulism a year. 90% of those occur in children under 6 months. Less than 5% of infant botulism cases are from honey." Your child is fine. Watch for constipation and any other sign child is not feeling well and if so take him to the doctor if he gets sick in the next 30 days. Almost all infants with botulism make a full recovery.
