There was a period of a few decades (I guess still ongoing, really) where parents sheltered their kids from everything. Playing in the dirt, peanuts, other allergens. It seems like all it's done is make people more vulnerable as adults. People assume babies are super fragile and delicate, and in many ways they are, but they also bounce back quickly.

Maybe part of it is a consequence of the risks of honey, which can actually spawn camp infants with botulism. But it seems that fear spread to everything.

I hadn't heard of this. Very intriguing that only camp infants would be affected.

Most likely you know already, and if that's the case just ignore this comment please. Spawn camp in this context is referred to gaming terminology where it indicates an enemy that camps/waits for for a long time and kills you as soon as you are put in the battlefield, which is your spawn point, hence spawn camping

Thanks, I had not understood previously, and was parsing the sentence incorrectly. I have no prior knowledge of the dangers of honey.
