And it is honey. Even bacteria that is resistant to all known drugs are apparently destroyed on contact.

Wonder if their are other honeys produced from different plants and bees that have this property.

I thought all honey was antibacterial?

I really doubt that only this certain jelly bush honey has this effect. Pretty sure any honey would do the same thing.

Are all honeys effective on bacteria like MRSA. This seems to be.

....bacteria have trouble in high sugar environments. that's why jellies and honey can store for years.

Hey, I discovered another item that does this. Ethanol.

Problem is, can't get human concentration of ethanol up to bacterial-infection-destroying levels without killing the host... And honey plain doesn't circulate.

There's no shortage of topical / external weapons of bacterial mass destruction, with no resistance. booze, bleach, quaternary compounds, copper, silver, drying agents, heat, cold, etc. Problem is, they don't work internally...

We've got a few families of antibiotics, and bacteriophages, that is it.

How is this any use at all?
