Bear Intoxicated from Eating Hallucinogenic Honey
A young female bear was found wandering aimlessly in the Duzce province of Turkey on Thursday. You may think "wandering aimlessly" is a natural state for a bear, but this one appeared to be intoxicated. Wildlife officials captured the bear and took her to a veterinary clinic. There, doctors determined she was not only intoxicated, but tripping. She had been eating honey made by bees that feed on rhododendron flowers. A species of rhododendron that grows only in Turkey's Kaçkar mountains and in the Himalayas produces a hallucinogenic substance called grayanotoxin. A few local beekeepers sell the honey, called deli bal, or "mad honey."
