Neither eucalyptus trees nor the eucalyptus oil that can be extracted from the leaves is "poisonous". However, it does contain some toxins which can cause acute gastric problems if ingested.

The few animals which feed on eucalyptus leaves, such as koalas, Ringtail possums and Greater gliders, are able to filter out the toxins through their digestive systems.

As a genus, the eucalyptus is not endangered. However, within this genus, there are some endangered species, such as the Eucalyotus scoparia, Eucalyptus parvala and Eucalyptus cattai, just to name a few.

Do not drink it. Severe and potentially deadly side effects are reported with the ingestion of eucalyptus oil. These include slowing of the brain and central nervous system, drowsiness, seizures, and coma.
