Hi Tanya,
But I’d rather put honey on my wounds than garlic, wouldn’t you?
And for those of us who don’t object to honey — it’s apparently the only food that doesn’t go bad. According to wikipedia, small amounts of edible honey have been found in the tombs of pharoahs in Egypt!

Not entirely relevant, but garlic has antibacterial qualities as well– even fairly diluted. I’m certainly much more likely to have it around. Though can’t say much for mixing the smell with the smell of infection…

Hi Tempyra,
Actually, the first definition of MRSA is methicillin, but multiple is also acceptable.
I just read the link you provided. Thanks. What struck me as counter-intuitive is that the honey is particularly helpful for healing diabetics. I would think putting sugar on a wound would somehow result in increasing blood sugar levels… But what do I know, I’m not a doctor.

Interesting reading. There is also a good article on the healing properties of manuka honey and what researchers are finding out about it on the BBC:

I always thought (remembering my days at uni lol) MRSA was methicillin resistant staph. aureus but I just learnt something new

Hi Seitan,
Wow, casein in latex. I had no idea. Thanks for sharing. It’s amazing how many animal by-products are in things you’d never expect.

Very interesting!

Though many bandages are already not considered vegan because they’re latex, which contains casein.
