Is a small amount of dried Eucalyptus poisonous to humans?

i had a bad cold once and i took a small bottle of eucalyptus oil in the medecine cabinet...without reading the label,i took about a teaspoon of that oil...after swallowing it i realised i something was wrong because of the extremely bad taste...so i read the label and it said to put a few drops in a gl of water or one drop on a candy and suck the candy...lol..it was too late now,in a few moments i was gonna know how koalas feel (koalas eat eucalyptus)...soon enough i was feeling really dizzy as if i was drunk from alcohol,but with clear mind...really weird buzz...so my answer is no it is not poisonous in small quantities.I had about a teaspoon of concentrate oil and tripped for 3-4 hours so you should be fine if you make tea,you will be able to manage the concentration by adding hot water if you think it is too strong...Good Luck !
