“…The time determined by us was similar to the cases presented in these studies. Similar to these symptoms and findings, another parameter of importance was that the majority of cases were male; many other studies where mad honey poisoning had been examined also featured older male patients, similar to our study (9)(10)(11)(12).

“…Grayanotoksinler etkilerini hücre membranındaki voltaj duyarlı sodyum kanal proteinine bağlanarak kanalın inaktivasyonunu geciktirir ve hücreyi depolarize durumda tutar. İskelet ve kalp kası ile nöronlar ve santral sinir sistemi üzerindeki etkilerinin tümü hücre membranındaki sodyum kanal aktvitesinde yaptığı değişiklere bağlıdır ve zehirlenmelerde görülen ciddi kardiyak ve respiratuvar etkilerinden dolayı tanınması gereken bir zehirlenmedir (5, 6).Genellikle Karadeniz'in doğu bölgelerinde görülürken, en çok zehirlenme vakası Türkiye'nin doğu Karadeniz böl-gesinden bildirilmiştir (7,8). Karadeniz Ereğli Devlet Hastanesi ve Zonguldak Karaelmas Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi tarafından yapılan retrospektif çalışmada hastaların yöresel bal alımı sonrası, sersemlik, mide bulantısı, halsizlik, bradia ritmi ve hipotansiyon gibi semptomların gözlenmesi ve tedavilerinin yapılması incelenmiştir (9).…”
