#My Lens: Beauty with EVIL power!!

in #sciencepic7 years ago

It's summer with admixture of glooming sun to raining "cats and dogs".To brighten up summer,oleanders have always been there to add up the beauty.
Commonly known as OLEANDER,scientifically known as Nerium oleander(currently only species classied under genus Nerium) of family Apocynacea has always add up the show in ornamental gardening.But don’t just go for its sweetness.In the shade of its beauty,lies the bitter truth that it’s toxic,every part of it is toxic.So,don’t eat it,don’t sniff it and keep children away from it!! The science behind its toxicity is that it produces cardiac glycosides which affects the functioning of Na+/K+ ATPase and alters ion balance in cardiac muscle.Seeking the beauty and admiring it might bring you in a state of irregularly beating heart,coma and to the extent of death as well!!IMG_0041.JPG
