Özet

Mad honey intoxication is the cause of a food poisoning which has been frequently seen in the Black Sea region of Turkey. The poisoning is due to the grayanotoxine content of the honey made by the bees from the wild flowers of the rhodendron species. In this case report we present the diagnosis and therapy of a 24 years old male patient who had hypotension and bradycardia after mad honey ingestion.
