Bacteria!!!!

Infant botulism is caused by the bacteria clostridium which is the same bacteria that causes food poisoning.

Although these spores can be found in soil, honey is the only food stuff that has been found to be associated with infant botulism.

The reason children under one year are susceptible to this and other bacteria is because they have not developed any gut flora which is the body's own natural defence against the food poisoning bacteria.

Remember after your baby is one year old, honey is an excellent natural food.
