Hand Washing

• Wash hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food, especially raw meat, poultry and fish. If you have an infection or cut on your hands, wear rubber or plastic gloves. Wash gloved hands just as often as bare hands because the gloves can pick up bacteria. (However, when washing gloved hands, you don`t need to take off your gloves and wash your bare hands, too.)

Honey

• Never give honey to infants under 1 year old, as honey may contain Clostridium botulinum spores to which infants have very little resistance. Once ingested, these spores may germinate and release deadly toxins. Once infants are a year or so old, they have developed some resistance to botulinum spores.
  
• Honey contains 18 more calories per tablespoon than refined sugar.
  
• One gallon of honey weighs about 11 pounds.  One pound of honey equals about 1 cup.
  
• When substituting honey for sugar in a recipe, reduce the liquid by ¼ cup for each cup of honey used.
