As cases of antibiotic-resistant infections become more common, Manuka honey may have potential as an alternative treatment when dealing with pathogens such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, better known as MRSA.

Australian Journal of Botany. 48 (5): 621. doi: 10.1071/bt99021. ISSN 0067-1924. Because of this, Manuka honey bandages and wound products are required to be registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before they can be sold over-the-counter (OTC) or through prescription sales. In Australia, Leptospermum species are sometimes used as food plants by the larvae of hepialid moths of the genus Aenetus, including A. lewinii and A. ligniveren. These burrow horizontally into the trunk then vertically down.Refrigerating your honey doesn’t make it last longer. In any case, it makes your honey deteriorate faster as it absorbs moisture in the fridge, which affects its rich taste and color. “ Honey with a water content of 18.3 % or less usually absorbs moisture from the air at a relative humidity of above 60%.” [10]

You should be able to determine the amount of honey necessary by assessing the amount of fluid leaking from the wound. The more leakage, the more honey you should use to dress the area.

PLoS One. 2019;14(10):e0224495. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0224495Leptospermum / ˌ l ɛ p t ə ˈ s p ɜːr m əm, - t oʊ-/ [2] [3] is a genus of shrubs and small trees in the myrtle family Myrtaceae commonly known as tea trees, although this name is sometimes also used for some species of Melaleuca. Most species are endemic to Australia, with the greatest diversity in the south of the continent, but some are native to other parts of the world, including New Zealand and Southeast Asia. Leptospermums all have five conspicuous petals and five groups of stamens which alternate with the petals. There is a single style in the centre of the flower and the fruit is a woody capsule.
