Infant tolerance of botu toxins, the bateria in raw honey and childhood and adult tolerance is DIFFERENT. A child of three or older can do well, a child of infant to three may succumb and die.
This is not true of salmonella, your example.
Botu toxins occur naturally in MOST raw honey, a fact wildlife rehabbers have been aware of for decades. And while tasteless, corn syrup is at least safe, though the more molasses the MORE likely to cause diarrhea.
As a wildlife and small animal rehab specialist, and having seen enough cases of infant human poisoning from raw honey, and rescue animal death. While raw honey is safe for over toddler children and most humans, who benefit from an immune challenge and a good digestive system. It often kills infant humans and badly stressed infant animals. Which is why there are WRITTEN and published guidelines for rehab specialists, against the use of raw honey in rehabbing of infant animals. This includes, chicks stressed by shipment or disaster.
And raw honey may not be safe, and corn syrup tasteless, but corn syrup provides absolutely necessary caloric supplementation in the advent of badly stressed, hypothermic and dying animals, ie. those who end up in rescue and rehabilitation commonly. The newly introduced, agave syrup, is gaining ground rapidly as the simple carbohydrate of choice because it also offers a low glycemic option, meaning NO CRASH after administration/supplementation.
I'm in my third decade rehabilitating the injured, ill and dying, both infant animals and adults. Agave is flat darn useful. Raw honey I've seen kill too many of too many species, sadly including human infants of vegetarians, thinking they were doing the right thing.
I happen to LOVE raw honey, raw meat and raw eggs in many forms. I eat a great deal of raw and under cooked meat, raw eggs and raw eggs in salad dressings ( cesare ). I am an adult with a lifetime of a good digestive system and strong immune system.
What a healthy adult or mature child's system can handle is SUBSTANTIALLY different from an animal or infant with a partially developed system of digestion (stomach acids and intestinal tract) and poor or compromised immune system.
On no possible level are they the same thing. A dying animal, an infant have nothing comparable to a normal system of digestion. Stress, death, dying and injury alter the capability of the gut to neutralize bacteria and toxins.
And once they do not, they are more at risk from raw sources of honey or meats or raw eggs or any other possible source of bacteria the gut cannot tolerate nor the kidneys and liver support.
Simple and SAFE are the rule for the stressed, injured and dying or abandoned, hypotherimic or shut down.
Safest is Agave syrup, next corn syrup, third honey or cooked/pastuerized honey, and fourth sugar in water.
