I know of a story of a napoleonic regiment that was devastated when they used Nerium oleander sticks for meat skewers then cooking it !

And certainly not Mountain Laurel, Kalmia latifolia, which even the deer
apparently do not touch until they are on the verge of starvation.

I seem to recall one ancient Greek city-state's army was wiped out after
they feasted on Kalmia honey, went unconscious, were discovered and killed
by another Greek city-state's army. Any confirmation?
