Many respondents thought the dr. must have been referring to  honey being
off-limits to children.  I looked up the National Honey Board website.  Here's
what they say:

"Honey may contain Clostridium botulinum spores that can cause infant
botulism - a rare but serious disease that affects the nervous system of young babies
(under one year of age). C. botulinum spores are present throughout the
environment and may be found in dust, soil and improperly canned foods. Adults and
children over one year of age are routinely exposed to, but not normally
affected by, C. botulinum spores."

Only one listmate said they have ever reacted to honey.  Again the NHB:

"New labeling regulations, under The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer
Protection Act of 2004, will require food labels to identify in plain English if
the product contains any of the eight major food allergens - milk, eggs, fish,
crustacean shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat and soybeans. The Act does not
include honey, and honey is not listed as an allergen.
Honey is not a major allergen. It is rarely negatively associated with
allergic reactions, but the pollens, which may be present in the unprocessed
product, can contribute to some food allergies.
Honey, especially when not fully processed, may contain residual proteins
containing pollen from the plants the bee has visited, and proteins are the cause
of most true food allergies. Such proteins are found in the eight major food
allergens mentioned above. The major components of honey are simple sugars.
These are carbohydrates and do not cause allergic responses.
Because the filtering process used for most commercially available honey
generally removes most of these pollens and other impurities, allergic reactions
stemming from the consumption of honey are very uncommon. Raw honey, favored by
health food proponents, contains a greater amount of pollen due to its lack
of processing, and is therefore more likely to cause an allergic response. When
they do occur, allergic reactions are usually mild and present in people who
have known pollen allergies. Severe allergic reactions resulting from the
ingestion of honey are extremely rare, according to medical literature."
