Talmud for Chullin 98:28
ההוא נקב דסתמה חלב טמא דאתא לקמיה דרבא
In the first place, we have learnt: Three liquids are prohibited if left uncovered,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' It is feared that a snake may have drunk from these liquids and deposited its poison therein. V. supra 10a.');"><sup>14</sup></span>
Jerusalem Talmud Terumot
“Five fluids are not endangered by being uncovered: Fish oil, muries143Cf. Demay, Chapter 1, Note 156., vinegar, olive oil, and honey. Rebbi Simeon forbids honey144Tosephta 7:12, Babli Ḥulin 49b. In both sources, R. Simeon forbids all five fluids.. The Sages agree with Rebbi Simeon if it was seen pecking145They will agree that snakes sometimes act in a perverted way but do not agree that this is enough for a general prohibition (loc.cit. 144)..” Rebbi Ḥinena bar Pappos had an uncovered flask of honey in his hand. Before he could ask, it broke apart146The next paragraph will show that this was a miracle to save his life..
