Department of Ophthalmology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.
Purpose: To report a case of corneal milkweed toxicity on the corneal endothelium with epithelial damage in a pediatric patient.
Methods: We report a case of a 13-year-old boy who presented to the emergency department with complaints of left eye pain and photophobia after direct corneal exposure to milkweed latex. He was found to have a large corneal epithelial defect and diffuse stromal edema suspected to be secondary to the cardiac glycosides present in the milkweed plant.

This is a case of voluntary ingestion of Nerium oleander leaves in an adolescent requiring the use of atropine and emergency chartering of antidigoxin antibodies (Digifab®) due to the difficulty of assessing oleandrin level and associated toxicity. Upon hospital admission, a digoxinemia was performed (0.44μg/mL) and the presence of oleandrine was detected.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the historical use of plants and herbs, highlighting both their therapeutic benefits and potential dangers, particularly focusing on oleander which can be toxic due to its cardiotoxic glycosides.
- An uncommon case of fatal self-poisoning is reported, where the individual intentionally ingested oleander leaves, demonstrating a rare awareness of its harmful effects.
- Autopsy findings confirmed the presence of oleandrin at fatal levels, with evidence of plant material in the digestive system and multiple organ damage noted.
Fatal Oleander Toxicosis in Two Miniature Horses.
J Am Anim Hosp Assoc
January 2017
From the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, Urbana, Illinois (J.B., S.K.); and College Road Animal Hospital, Wilmington, North Carolina (G.S.).

Both horses were treated aggressively with IV fluids and other supportive measures. The first horse died approximately 72 hr after the start of clinical signs and the second horse was humanely euthanized due to poor response to treatment.
