Abstract

The honey which is known as the 'mad honey' especially in the Karadeniz region is also produced and consumed in most of the countries and contains Rhododendron ponticum nectar, which is known to cause severe bradycardia and hypotension. This honey is produced by Rhododendron species R. luteum and R. ponticum in the northern regions of Turkey. Grayanotoxin I also known as andromedotoxin, is only produced by Ericaceae plants and thought to be the compound which is responsible for the poisoning. Typical toxication symptoms are gastrointestinal and sometimes may cause life-threatening severe bradycardia and hypotension. Here we present a patient attended to our clinic and survivas by resusitation after cardiac arrest who had ingestion too much mad honey in the same day. Although the Black Sea Honey (Mad Honey) toxication is very rare, it is a situation to keep in mind that if it is not treated by early diagnosis it can turn into a mortal state.

Özet

Özellikle Karadeniz bölgesinde "delibal" olarak bilinen ve dünyada birçok ülkede üretimi ve tüketimi bulunan bu balda bulunan, Rhododendron ponticum isimli nektarın, ağır bradikardi ve hipotansiyon yaptığı bilinmektedir. Bu bal Türkiye'nin kuzey bölgelerinde Rhododendron cinsi bitkilerin iki üyesi olan R. Luteum ve R. Ponticum'den üretilmektedir. Grayanotoxin I, diğer adıyla andromedotoxin yalnızca Ericaceae bitkileri tarafından oluşturulmaktadır ve toksikasyondan sorumlu içerik olarak kabul edilmektedir. Tipik zehirlenme semptomları genellikle gastointestinal olup bazen yaşamı tehdit eden ağır bradikardi ve hipotansiyon gelişebilmektedir. Biz de kliniğimize, kardiyak arrest ile yatırılıp resusitasyon sonrası yaşama dönen, anamnezinde aynı gün içersinde fazla miktarda Karadeniz Bal'ı yiyen bir hastayı sunduk. Karadeniz Bal'ı (delibal) zehirlenmesi oldukça nadir olmakla beraber erken farkedilip müdahale edilmezse ölümcül bir tabloya dönüşebileceği akılda tutulması gereken bir durumdur.
