    Likely because honey has anti-inflammatory properties.

    The local honey myth is about using the honey as a form of allergy immunotherapy since it would be from local pollen.

        That’s different. With peanuts you’re directly ingesting the allergen. With honey you have to hope that enough of the allergen, survived the honey making process, assuming you’re allergic to something bees make honey from.

        There’s no question that allergy immunotherapy is legit, but honey is unlikely to be a viable method of it.
