This is not a field of expertise for me, but I do remember warnings not to
give honey to babies because it can have botulism spores in it. Don't know if
this would be true for the wax also. Sugar is a great topical antibiotic- the
Roman army used it, and it's cleared up stubborn nicks I've had.
Any pediatricians out there?
