Honey intoxication, a kind of food poisoning, can be seen in the Black Sea region of Turkey and in various other parts of the world as well. In this study, 66 patients were hospitalized with a variety of symptoms including nausea, vomiting, salivation, dizziness, weakness, hypotension, bradycardia and syncope several hours after the ingestion of small amounts of honey. All patients had hypotension, and majority had bradycardia. These features resolved completely in 24 h with i.v. fluids and atropine, and none died. In conclusion, honey poisoning should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction and in the patients with vomiting, hypotension and bradycardia.
蜂蜜中毒是一种食物中毒，在土耳其黑海地区以及世界其他各个地方都有发现。在本研究中，66名患者在摄入少量蜂蜜数小时后，因出现恶心、呕吐、流涎、头晕、乏力、低血压、心动过缓和晕厥等各种症状而住院。所有患者均有低血压，大多数患者有心动过缓。通过静脉输液和阿托品治疗，这些症状在24小时内完全缓解，无一例死亡。总之，在急性心肌梗死的鉴别诊断中以及对于出现呕吐、低血压和心动过缓的患者，应考虑蜂蜜中毒的可能性。
