Did you find that a UMF or MGO rating was important and if so, what was it? A lot of the manuka honey I see is quite low, and the few with higher ratings certainly reflect it in the pricing.

To be honest I’m not sure. I bought this medical grade manuka honey. That seems to be a thing, and it is sterilized for wound use. Mind you I have no way of knowing if this is actual medical grade stuff that use in hospitals. But it seemed to work. On multiple mrsa outbreaks too: I had a few instances where it got outside the nose and this got rid of them. What exactly are you doing with it? I wasn’t quite clear on how you’re going to get it deeper into the nose. I had had the mrsa in the lower nostril so I just used a q tip, but I didn’t get it into the nasal passages. (Nor do I know if it’s meant for such use). I also have congestion at night so I;m interested. I will say that a jar like this lasts for many uses. If you’re eating honey it’s a small amount, but you don’t need much for topical use. https://www.amazon.ca/Manukaguard-Medical-Grade-Manuka-Honey/dp/B008SQV83Q/ https://www.amazon.ca/Manukaguard-Medical-Grade-Manuka-Honey...

  "What exactly are you doing with it?" I would be irrigating the sinuses with it, diluted in warm (distilled!) saline water. I've done this with regular raw honey and haven't been too tempted since.

    Wow that’s quite a negative review haha. But also some positives from the foreign reviews. Well....I guess it’s probably not actively destructive then, I guess the sinuses can deal with it. I’m going to look into this, thanks! So in your case I guess you’re just diluting the honey in water to a certain degree. But the raw honey was uncomfortable as the reviews suggest. If you’d like to talk more about mrsa/nasal stuff btw, my email is in my profile.
