Listings that I've read refer to ingestion of oleander for toxic effects
in mammals, birds, reptiles. As long as you don't eat Monarch butterfly
there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Monarch caterpillars eat milkweed, not oleanders. While they both
contain cardiac glycosides, and oleander aphids plague my milkweed
plants, monarchs prefer milkweeds.
Penelope, who has monarch caterpillars munching her milkweed right
now.
