A 49-year-old woman with a history of HIV and hypothyroidism developed symptomatic hypotension, bradycardia, and gastrointestinal distress after consuming honey she had purchased during a recent trip to Nepal. Her travel history and symptoms raised concerns about mad honey intoxication. Her condition improved with supportive care, including IV fluids, and atropine was not required for bradycardia. This case underscores the importance of considering mad honey toxicity in patients with unexplained cardiovascular symptoms and a history of honey ingestion. As interest in natural and traditional medicines grows, raising awareness about their potential risks becomes increasingly essential.
