  Patty Wright It's a dangerous myth. Just like local honey. People aren't generally allergic to the flowers bees collect pollen from (seasonal allergies are trees and grasses) and, even if they were, there's miniscual amounts of pollen in honey. Because it's unfiltered, there's also bee parts in it, so raw honey can be deadly to anyone allergic to bees. Even the fluffy WebMD has an article on it

  Ginger Mahoney I think that people who have eaten local honey over period of time "might" benefit from the acclimation to it. But like Patty stated this can be a dangerous myth to just suddenly start eating it to try to gain this acclimation if the person already has a high sensitivity to any of the components in the unfiltered honey. I'd use much caution and I can't say that I've heard it can cure allergies. Maybe it can, I just have not read that during my internet travels.

    Ginger Mahoney Yeah, like I said I cannot say for certain since I've never read this personally. Maybe it does work, I just cannot elaborate on it one way or the other as I'm not the subject matter expert. I still would say to anyone who tries to do this to practice caution. We need to do that anytime we jump into something new when we suffer from mast cell or histamine issues.
