JoanBelleIsle Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Has anyone used raw local honey to treat allergies? It has been recommended to me. It sounds harmless enough even if it doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEB Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I have heard of this for people. I will be interested to see the replies you get as Kevin supposedly has allergies and they seem rather sudden onset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 The chances of it doing any good are slim to none. The principle by which it's supposed to work is that it contains your allergens in small amounts and that you develop a tolerance to them. There are quite a few fallacies in that premise ..... But I love honey on the comb and I imagine a dog would too .

Guest BrianRke Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I know of people who swear by this but I dont know of anyone who has tried it with a pet. Its worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest june Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I think my dogs would love to develop allergies just so they could get the honey to treat them They do love a greyt sweet treat from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
