Abstract

Introduction: The approach of the residents of central Kars, Turkey, to emergencies in our conservative district is shaped by the effect of the culture. In emergency actions, many traditional approaches are preferred, using herbs and other available materials. Some of these approaches might be directly hazardous and some create danger indirectly as they prolong the treatment period.
