Özet:

 


In this survey,
the calls regarding exposures to natural xenobiotics suspected by callers as
intoxications were analyzed. In this context, plants, mushrooms, venomous and
nonvenomous animals and natural oils were included. The percentage of those
exposures to total poisoning calls was 5.7. The mostly offending group of
natural xenobiotics was found as animals with 50.0 % including scorpions (25.6%
of all animals), snakes (22.0%), and wasps (9.8%). As mushrooms were counted as
plants, plants group (46.6 % of all naturals) contained mainly mushrooms (46.1
%) and secondly diffenbachia (10.5%) exposures. 
Annual ditribution showed a decline in animal bites / stings in overall
poisoning calls. Victims were mainly adults both in animal group (67.1 %) and
plant ingestions including “mad honey” (55.6 %).  The ratio of female to male was found almost
equally in overall natural exposures. Major mode of poisoning was accidental
(85.3 %) in all natural exposures, however a few medication errors also
reported in plants group (11.1 %). Physicians dominated as callers of the cases
totally with a percentage of 65. Between 2005 and 2014 period no mortality due
to natural xenobiotic exposures was recorded by Hacettepe Drug and Poison
Informatioın Unit.
