Oleander itself is also extremely toxic, I believe. I'm sure not many people eat it, but I would hesitate to plant it around the house if I had kids.
If you really research it, you'll find that only 4 people have died from ingesting it after trying to make medicine or tea out of it. A person would need to eat a bunch of it to be harmful, and there are many plants which would fit that description.

I was watching a drama, and the bad guys burned oleander to kill the enemy. It was supposed to be historic, but who knows? It turns out that the smoke is toxic as well: toxic
Betcha few people know that Oleanders has a nice almond smell and the darker shades have the strongest scent, also there are double flower Oleanders that are very beautiful. I llke them for many applications, there is the standard size and the hybrid or dwarf but the dwarf has no smell and will grow to 8 feet, smaller flowers usually pink. The standard Oleanders can be trained into an ornamental tree for striking summer color.
