Today's interesting fact has to do with Honey.

Humans have been using honey for thousands of years.

Not to long ago, some honey in clay post was discovered in an Egyptian tomb.

It was found to be edible, showing that Honey stays edible.

Honey has been used to treat wounds. The ancients discovered that a layer of honey on a wound would usually allow the wound to heal without turning septic and festering.

This is partially due to the antibiotics that is found in honey, preventing bacteria from multiplying and partially from the sealing of the wound from the atmosphere.
