Why Yellow Oleander Is Dangerous
Yellow oleander naturally produces potent cardiac glycosides that interfere with electrical signals in the heart. Even a small dose can trigger:
- Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain
- Dizziness, confusion, or blurred vision
- Slow, fast, or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)
- In severe cases: cardiac arrest and death
If you or a family member ingested any recalled Niwali Tejocote product—even once—seek medical advice immediately.
