## TL;DR

This paper reports cases of wild honey poisoning in Nepal, highlighting its rapid onset and effective treatment strategies.

## Contribution

The study provides clinical insights into the management of wild honey intoxication through a case series.

## Key findings

- Symptoms of wild honey poisoning appear within 30–45 minutes of ingestion.
- Early treatment with IV fluids and atropine is effective, while severe cases may need vasopressors.

## Abstract

Wild honey poisoning can cause serious cardiovascular complications, including bradycardia and hypotension, even with small amounts (1–2 teaspoons) consumed. Symptoms typically emerge within 30–45 min of ingestion. Early intervention with IV fluids and atropine is effective in most cases, but severe cases may require vasopressors, particularly when presentation is delayed.
