Is the smell of oleander poison and if so what are the symthoms?

Oleander itself is not considered poisonous in terms of its smell; however, all parts of the plant contain toxic compounds called cardiac glycosides, which can be harmful if ingested. Symptoms of oleander poisoning can include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, irregular heartbeats, and in severe cases, it can lead to cardiac arrest or death. It’s important to avoid consuming any part of the plant and to seek medical attention if poisoning is suspected.
