[Poisoning with andromedotoxin-containing honey].

Two patients poisoned by andromedotoxin-containing honey were treated in Austrian hospitals in 1981 and 1982. The toxin-containing honey had in both cases been obtained in the coastal mediterranean part of Turkey. Both patients had severe arterial hypotension, bradycardic arrhythmias, syncope and CNS symptoms. Symptomatic treatment was fully successful in both patients within 24 hours.
