Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Are you taking it in liquid form? If so, see what happens if you put some of the solution on your inner arm. If it causes any bumps or redness, you may be allergic to the family of plants that includes oleander, vinca and many others. If you are taking it in capsule form and the itching and rash continues, try discontinuing the oleander and see if the condition persists. If it does, you may be allergic. You may wish to try a much smaller dosage and work your way up and see if your body becomes acclimated. If not, you are likely not a good candidate for using oleander. One other consideration: if you made your own oleander extract, when you touch the liquid to your lips, does it cause a tingling or numbing sensation? If so, that is a likely sign of chemical contamination - most likely a pesticide, and the most common pesticide would be malathion. If THAT is the case, throw out your oleander and find a better source that is pesticide free. oleander soup , arthur rambo <alquitit wrote: > > I would also like to ask about some itching I am having after my second dose today.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I am taking the capsules. I plan to cut back, and try to go slower.
