ABSTRACT
The hypoglycemia seen in ackee poisoning almost certainly results from the presence of hypoglycin A in the aril. However, the mechanism underlying the vomiting and neurologic disorders have not been properly established. We have, in this review, re-established the latter and proposed that the vomiting and neurological features of ackee poisoning probably result from the excitotoxic properties of glutamic and aspartic acids derived directly and indirectly from ackee intake (AU)
