Could a person get sick or die from eating tomatoes from a plant among or near Oleander bushes?

Or what if someone smoked pot from a plant growing among Oleander?

Be careful. One never knows how cross-contamination could occur. Example: a gardener without garden gloves handling the oleander plant and then picking tomatoes could accidentally spread oleander sap on the tomatoes.





Aphids as the carriers of poison? Even oleander aphids? A possibility.





A sick oleander plant my leak sap too on the tomatoes still on the vine.





Cross-poisoning may not be well known concerning this plant because no one has written about it yet.





Smoking pot grown by oleander bushes? Hopefully no dried oleander leaves got mixed in with the pot. Pot can be contaminated by other chemicals. Why not those toxins from the oleander plant? (Dried oleander parts are poisoness and smoke from burning oleander is also poisoness.)

Your question reminded me of a dear friend who grew oleander plants very successfully.
Reply:you totally lost me
Reply:that depends entirely upon which planet you reside on! In some instances the oleander might enhance the pots great effect. Perhaps some experimentation along these lines might lead to great discoveries.Start w/ tomatoes first.
Reply:I can not find one reference from indirect oleander poisoning. The toxins are in only the leaf. I do not see any way it could contaminate near by plants through the soil.
Reply:I think you have already been hitting the wacky weed already.
