I have heard a little about the topical application for wounds to ward off bacteria. I ask this in all seriousness has anyone ever heard of wildlife not just ingesting honey but immersing themselves in it ?

Maybe it's an urban legend but I understand the pain lessening capabilities of willow bark came as the result of natives observing bears eating it and I don't think it tasted anything like honey. Also the re is the incidents of dogs eating grass to induce vomiting.
