Poisonous Plants - hosted by beersbooksandbooos

Oleander
 Next, Oleander, known since Ancient Greece and Rome and described by Plinius, is one of the most toxic and deadliest garden plants in the world. So, you may use it as an ornamental shrub or hedge, but keep in mind all the plant’s parts are poisonous. Therefore, if you or your pet eat by accident an oleander plant’s part, the poisoning symptoms can range from vomiting and diarrhea to seizures, coma, and death. In conclusion, make sure you don’t touch it, either, as some people suffer severe skin reactions upon contact.
