What makes it poisonous?
Oleander contains cardiac glycosides, compounds that affect the heart’s rhythm and electrical signaling. Ingestion can cause:
Nausea and vomiting
Abdominal pain
Excess salivation
Irregular heartbeat
Skin irritation from sap contact
While poisoning cases are rare due to the plant’s bitterness, the risk is real — especially for pets and children.
