Abstrakt:	Lyonia ovalifolia (angeri) is a deciduous tree whose shoot and leaves are toxic. Its chemical constituents include grayanane diterpenoids, lyoniol A, and other toxic compounds. Young children might consume it intentionally or unintentionally, with subsequent adverse health outcomes and even mortality depending on the amount ingested. We present a case of an adolescent girl who developed poisoning on ingestion of angeri leaves. Adequate information about the toxic plants and their potential toxic effects and outcomes must be given to parents, adolescents, and children. Recognition of symptoms and their timely management is crucial in preventing potential health hazard. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
