According to folklore in many places, honey cannot be eaten with onions and garlic, as eating it will kill people.

It is also recorded in the ancient book "The Synopsis of the Golden Chamber": "You cannot eat raw onions with honey, as they will kill people." "After eating honey, eating raw onions and leeks within four days will cause heartache."

"Yinshan Zhengyao" also has a saying that "raw onions should not be eaten with honey", and it has been passed down to this day.
