Interesting. In the US at least Crotons are rather popular as houseplants. I've kept them for years, and never knew of this property or story.
Assuming it's true, I wonder if any documentation exists at all from one of the affected souls on those subs.
Another Historical Easter Egg from Wikipedia [1]:
"Medicinal" croton oil was supplied in the California Genocide to dying Indian groups.
