Why I should only be allowed around Nuclear Weapons

So we're waiting for brunch to arrive at the Silver Diner, and Ryan's chewing on a honey graham cracker, and Erin's on my other side, all *blink* *blink* num num num so sure, you're on solid foods and bread seems to be one of your favorites, so here, have a penny-sized morsel.

Well.

Something that somehow never came up during Air War College studies:
The natural sweetener (honey) can contain the spores of a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum, the culprit behind the illness known as botulism. If these spores are ingested by a baby, they can grow in her intestines, where they'll produce botulism toxin, a highly poisonous substance that may gradually paralyze all the muscles in her body.

Thank God one of us is smart, as Ainsley Bruce Lee'd the cracker out of my hand. Orally. Protective, this one. Thankfully, an enema wasn't needed for dessert.
