TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - A case of honey intoxication in Japan JO - Japanese journal of toxicology A1 - Inagaki, Takeshi A1 - Hagiwara, Akiyoshi A1 - Nagashima, Ayako A1 - Kimura, Akio SP - 310 EP - 313 VL - 26 IS - 4 N2 - A 63-year-old woman presented with a 4-hr history of sneezing, visual disturbance, and dyspnea after drinking foreign honey dissolved in hot water. Severe hypotension (56/30 mmHg) and bradycardia (55 beats/min) were identified on arrival. She was immediately administered intravenous atropine (0.5 mg) and a bolus injection of Ringer solution (2,000 mL). Circulatory abnormality dramatically improved immediately after atropine injection and she was discharged on hospital day 2. We speculate that the patient suffered from honey intoxication because of manifestations such as hypotension and bradycardia, which are commonly seen in patients intoxicated by honey.
