    People do not eat beeswax, and yes you would be allergic to it.

    Honey allergy is extremely rare. And it's not the honey itself that causes the problem, but the pollens or enzymes (bee spit) in raw honey. But those same elements would be in beeswax too, so it would probably also cause a reaction.
