Scientists warn of 'mad honey disease' - GERM/CHEMICAL WARFARE

[Guest guest]

Several years ago I read a book about the history of germ and

chemical warfare by a lady named Mayer. She stated that the type of

honey you are speaking of was intentionally fed to enemy/conquering

armies, " GERM/CHEMICAL WARFARE " . This was going on several thousand

years ago. Paul Autrey

treated in 2005 alone.

rise in cases of the disease, whose symptoms can include convulsions,

low blood pressure, fainting and temporary heart problems, according

to a new report.

> " Mad honey disease has the potential to cause death if

untreated, " say the researchers. " Because of the increasing

preference for natural products, intoxication induced by consumption

of honey will increase in the future. "

> Just a spoonful of the wrong honey can cause problems, according

to researchers, who report their findings this week in the American

Journal of Emergency Medicine.

> Mad honey poisoning is most prevalent in honey from the Black Sea

region of Turkey. Compounds called grayanotoxins, found in the nectar

of rhododendrons, mountain laurels and azaleas, are thought to be

responsible for the disease. Though harmless to bees, they are

psychoactive and poisonous to humans. Affected honey is said to have

a very bitter taste.
