"You can go to any liquor store and truck stop and buy a honey packet, and you have no idea what's in there." This uncertainty is what makes these packets dangerous, Mills adds.
Haemophilia is a mostly inherited genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to clot, a process needed to stop bleeding. [20] [21] This results in people bleeding longer after an injury, easy bruising, and an increased risk of bleeding inside joints or other parts of the body.
