The infant is at risk of botulism due to this method of medication administration. Botulism is a rare and sometimes fatal disease, which is caused by a toxin produced by a bacterium. The disease can be caused by the consumption of foods that contain the toxin or the spores of the bacteria. In order to prevent the disease, proper food preparation is needed. Children under 12 months old are more vulnerable to this disease since they have not yet developed the appropriate defence mechanisms. Honey is a type of food that could contain this bacterium, therefore children under 12 months should not consume honey.
