ABSTRACT

Mad-honey poisoning is a type of food intoxication caused by the ingestion of grayanotoxin-contaminated honey. Low doses of grayanotoxin can cause dizziness, hypotension, and bradycardia, however higher doses can cause severe life-threatening conditions that effect especially cardiovascular system. In this paper, we present 3 individual cases admitted to our hospital emergency service presented with similar clinical pictures in 10 consecutive days.
