Özet
Apart from its role as an important nutrient, honey is used for alternative medicinal purposes. Cases presenting with severe hypotension, bradycardia, atrioventricular block and asystole have been reported following ingestion of honey in northern parts of Turkey, and certain parts of Japan, Brazil and Nepal. Herein, we report a case presenting with ventricular tachycardia and acute inferoposterolateral myocardial infarction after ingestion of mad honey (grayanotoxin). According to our knowledge, such case is being reported for the first time in the literature. (Hong Kong j.emerg.med. 2013;20:299-301)
