All rhododendrons are poisonous! A rhododendron leaf can kill a grown man if eaten.

People here in Florida have died from using limbs from members of these plants to cook marshmallows.

If it irritates your skin, rub Benadryl cream on it, or take Benadryl.

DO NOT eat this plant!

all rhododendrons are poisonous. i mean if you lick the sap you are not going to die, but it is poisonous - shouldnt be given to pets, children shouldnt chew it, you shouldnt stick a chicken on rhododendron pole to barbecue it, etc.
