| Case report of a possible link between kava tea ingestion and rhabdomyolysis in a bicyclist. |
|
| University of Rochester: One possible explanation for the rhabdomyolysis in this patient, Kamali said, was that the kava induced muscle weakness that led to over-exertion and stress as the bicyclist attempted to go about his normal routine. Alternatively, the kava might have caused direct muscle toxicity, or the kava might have contained a foreign impurity. |
