    I love this article. I learned so much. Didn’t know that honey can last nearly forever and it has to due with the acids killing off bacteria and not having a livable environment!

      Yeah, it’s fascinating stuff. I didn’t realize honey can also be used as balm for wounds since it kills bacteria and absorbs moisture.

        I saw that once in the Equalizer by Denzel Washington. He used honey on his wound after getting injured from fighting a Russian gang.
