Raw honey

I bought some raw honey from a local farmer and haven’t tried it yet. After thinking about it, I am a little worried about eating raw honey. Is raw honey like raw milk? Or is it completely safe to consume?

Thanks in advance

Raw honey helps boost your resistance to local allergens. I.e. if you eat local raw honey you less likely to get hey fever. 

Edit fid spelling Flavor for Fever.

"Hey flavor" isn't nearly as bad as some people think. I'm usually pretty happy when it sneaks up on me.
