I wish I had a better solution than one I had used. I had a sense of urgency compounded by fear for safety and just went with the quickest solution.
I still have the capped honey. Just haven't been able to convince myself to throw it out. It's 43 lbs of the last harvest I'm going to have for a long, long time to come. AFter removing the honey from the hive I immediately washed all of it under the hose, washing away all the uncapped honey. The next morning I triple rinsed every single side with soapy water in a spray bottle and made extra sure to clean every single uncapped chamber of honey. Everything that was capped is unharmed leading me to think that it may be o.k.
This may be incredibly stupid to even consider, and I haven't fully decided yet, but I may end up using it...
