Poisonous plants

Oleander in Sanskrit means "horse killer".

Every part of the plant is deadly. If you burn it, the smoke is poisonous. If bees spend too much time on an oleander, the honey will be fatal.

Azaleas are equally fatal.

While Oleanders kill quickly, azaleas take a few hours. Vomiting, paralysis, seizures, coma, then death.
