A member asked:
Can honey and molasses cause delayed allergic reactions or are they more immediate, within a few minutes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rare: Since bees collect mainly from flowering (not airborne pollen) plants, only rare instances of allergic reactions have been reported. I am not aware of any report of a delayed reaction . Molasses are from sugar and I am not aware of any report related to an allergic reaction to them.

My son has a paternally inherited chromosomal duplication. His father seems unaffected, but our son has developmental delays (e.g. speech). Could this be the cause even if his father is unaffected?
