You must have noticed that some people become so busy talking on the phone that they do not even pay attention to what they are doing. Some people walk to places they would otherwise go. At the same time, some people start picking up things, touching them or putting them in their mouth, but still their attention remains on the phone. A girl also became so engrossed in talking to her family on the phone that she did not realize when she picked a poisonous flower while walking in the garden and put it in her mouth and died the next day.
Obviously you must be wondering how a flower can take someone's life. Actually, the girl accidentally chewed the oleander flower which is extremely poisonous. According to a report, 24-year-old Surya Surendran from Alappuzha district got a job as a nurse in the UK. To go there, she reached Kochi airport on Sunday, but suddenly fainted.
After this Surya was taken to the hospital, but he died the next day. Before she died, she had told doctors and family members that she had been talking to relatives and friends on phone before coming to the airport on Sunday. During this time he accidentally chewed an early flower. But as soon as he found out, he immediately spat out. But by then the poisonous essence of the flower had entered the girl's stomach. The post-mortem report also states that the cause of death was premature flowering.
Doctors told the family that no part of the flower was found in their daughter's stomach, but there was some poisonous substance in the blood. Dr. Benil Kottakkal, who studies the toxicity of oleander flowers, says Nerium oleander contains alkaloids, which affect the human heart.
