87. This sounds amazing. My daughter has a low immune system, this would be great to have on hand for her.

99. This is something we used to do back in Alabama. My niece and nephew wouldn’t sleep in socks (still won’t) so we had to settle for putting it on their chests.

     1. That’s exactly what I did when my son was young. The honey soothes, and it’s also a natural antibacterial, too!
