if honey is antimicrobial how is it also a botulism risk for infants?

Question

Am I just misunderstanding what people mean when they say it has anti microbial properties? Like, it’s hostile to most things but not all? I have no intention of feeding an infant honey, I was just wondering.

The spores won’t proliferate in honey, but there can be enough present to harm something with as little mass as a newborn.
