Word to the Wise About Rhododendron

 Word to the Wise parents keep your kids away from Rhododendron. Rhododendrons are poisonous because they contain grayanotoxins, which interfere with sodium channels in nerve and muscle cells. This leads to cardiac rhythm problems, low blood pressure, and neurological symptoms. All parts of the plant are toxic, and honey made from their nectar can also cause poisoning.
