A member asked:
Used lotion on hands. i have 6 month old daughter. she just licked my hands. i then saw the lotion contains honey. is she at risk for infant botulism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infant botulism: I am sure honey is a small component in your lotion so not a risk but contact Poison control if she ingested a large quantity
