| Abstract: | A young gentleman presents with deliberate unidentified plant ingestion, complaining of abdominal pain and vomiting. He is found to have junctional rhythm at 37 beats per minute. On further questioning, he is noted to have ingested Nerium oleander leaf tea extract as part of a ritual. The mechanism of action, diagnosis and management of oleander poisoning is discussed in this case report. Awareness to the common oleander plant and its toxicity in the Maltese islands and around the Mediterranean is emphasized. |
