Hi doctor, I am a 60 year old male, who weighs 165 kg, and I am 172 cm tall. I have a bowel problem, and so I have recently become a vegetarian. I ate three oleander plant flowers 18 hours ago with my evening meal, not knowing they were toxic, as I am not a gardener. I found out that they were toxic this morning when I began to vomit. I have been drinking plenty of water. Even though the flowers were in my stomach for many hours, I appear to have vomited most of the flowers. The vomiting ceased when it became practically clear water. I have not eaten since, and I feel a little lightheaded. My body temperature has been fluctuating a little. Otherwise, I am fine, and I do not see any urgency. Regardless of this, medical services are not an option. There is, however, a local chemist. Should I continue to drink plenty of water and rest for a day or so?
