Honey, which is collected and stored from plant flowers by honey, i.e., yellowish highly viscous concentrate is mostly sugar, but contains suspended substances and proteins of fungi such as Potulinum. It is a turbid liquid in appearance. A liquid having a high sugar content (high Brix) obtained from such honey is used for food or medicine because it is natural, but if used as it is, problems may occur. For example, botulism occurring in a 0-year-old child has recently become a problem. Clostridium botulinum is a typical toxin-type bacterium, and in severe cases, dyspnea or respiratory arrest. In addition, since such a liquid is suspended, there is a feeling of resistance particularly when used for medicinal purposes.
