It sounds a bit like using antibiotics would mean they can't sell the honey anymore, which sounds somewhat plausible. It could be that this would violate the terms of trade agreements. Maybe the countries using the antibiotics don't export into markets that have rules against them.
- giantg2 2y agoYes, some antibiotics have been used in markets like China and been found in honey. The antibiotic used is banned in the US due to some sort of negative human impacts. I hear there are other antibiotics approved, but I think it's a patchwork of regulation right now. Also, I question the effectiveness of antibiotics to treat AFB. If the spores remain viable, reinfection in subsequent years or spread still seems possible.
- rdtsc 2y agoAh, thanks for explaining. That makes sense.
