Reminds me of the incident several months back, about the poor China girl video-blogger who ate a poisonous plant (she thought it was healthy aloe vera) on an internet live stream, and then screamed, cried and vomited as she panicked and tried to call for an ambulance (she was subsequently hospitalized for a long time), with her traumatic near-death experience being streamed live to thousands of viewers online.

One paricular plant that is all over the sunny tropical island of Sinkapore is the Allamanda. Its poisonous. Don't let your kids or pets play with it.

Allamanda, or as it is commonly known as Yellow Bell, Golden Trumpet and Buttercup Flower, is a genus of tropical shrubs or vines belonging to the Dogbane family native to South and Central America. Their bright flowers have made the Allamanda a popular ornamental plant.
Their scent may be described as delicate and fruity.
Allamanda have become naturalized throughout the tropics; they may be seen in roadside ditches, abandoned yards and dumps.
Allamanda cathartica is notable for its medicinal properties although all parts of the plant contain allamandin, a toxic iridoid lactone. The leaves, roots and flowers are used as a laxative and emetic in traditional medicine in a number of tropical countries.
Although the milky sap is known to contain antibacterial and possibly anticancer properties it is poisonous and ingesting large amounts can be toxic. Effects of poisoning can also include rashes, itch, and blisters.
The City of Canóvanas in the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico, has named the Allamanda Carthica (Yellow Bell) its official flower/plant due to the vast amount of these through the city and its rivers. It’s also in their seal and downtown plaza.
