The "First World Wound Healing Congress," held in Melbourne on September
10-13, 2000, discussed the use of honey in wound treatment. The comments
made during the congress were along these lines:
Many natural antibacterial substances are being evaluated to find a treatment
for wounds infected with bacteria with multiple resistance to antibiotics, the
"superbugs," as this becomes a major clinical problem. But most of these nat-
ural substances have no proven effectiveness on infected wounds, nor is it
known if they have any adverse effects on wound tissues. Honey is different,
as it has an excellent "track record" over 4,000 years of usage as a wound
dressing... Honey has a potent antibacterial activity and is very effective in
clearing infection in wounds and protecting wounds from becoming infected.
